“It’s my honor to join Boao Lecheng Hope City. I will spare no effort to support it, and I believe we will see more of its potential in the near future,” said Peter Bootsma, the Former Counselor for Health, Welfare, and Sports at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in China. He is now serving as Senior International Officer of the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (Boao Hope City).

More than just a renowned senior international diplomat, Peter Bootsma is also an international health expert equipped with 40 years of experience in medical & health care, international communication, and investment promotion. He stated that since his first visit to Boao Hope City in September 2020, he sensed the vitality of the park.
