Guilin Institute of Tourism
GLIT was founded in 1985 when there were few public higher learning institutions of this kind across China. From the outset, the Board of GLIT gave importance to seeking national and international links in the process of self-development. The present landscape of GLIT is defined by two campuses located in the downtown (Canluan) and uptown (Yanshan) districts and covering 1885 mu (an equivalent of 1,250,000 square meters). With its geological expansion, GLIT has become not only one of the higher learning institutions of tourism in China who have joined to form a union called the Five-Star League but also the affiliate members of the UNWTO and PATA who have given their substantial support.
