Abstract

This paper discusses the rapid development of tourism and its inseparable relationship with cross-culture communication under the background of globalisation in the 21^st century. Through the analysis of the data, it was found that the tourism industry of China and Belarus, like the development trend of international tourism, plays a pivotal role in the national economic development. With the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and Belarus have deepened their cooperation in various fields. However, through data, it was found that there is still a big gap in the cooperation between China and Belarus in the field of tourism, which also rises a great challenge for the further cross-culture communication between China and Belarus. The article puts forward reasonable suggestions after analysing the development dilemma of China – Belarus tourism and cross-culture communication.
