Cork County Council has scored a major coup by getting a video promoting tourism in the region included in a special foreign trade initiative package which has been launched online in China by its President Xi Jinping.

He launched the video at the China International Fair and Trade Services (CIFTS). It will be available to the vast majority of the country's near 1.4 billion population, among whom foreign travel is growing.
