首先，感谢各位对厦门旅游业发展的关注和支持，感谢大家来这里听取我对厦门旅游业招商引资项目相关情况的介绍。//
厦门市总面积1,565平方公里，其中有12.56公里的沙滩线适合辟为海水浴场。这里是白鹭成群栖息的地方，故有“鹭岛”之称。有“海上花园”、“中国最温馨的城市”之美誉，以温馨绰约的山色海景和城市环境驰名中外，1998年被评为首批中国优秀旅游城市，是海内外游客首选的中国十大旅游城市。从1991年起厦门旅游业创汇收入连续13年名列全国旅游城市前十位。2003年厦门共接待海内外游客1,334.07万人次，旅游总收入165.32亿元人民币。//
厦门市委、市政府高度重视旅游业的发展，充分认识到旅游业对厦门经济发展的重要性，把旅游业作为国民经济新的增长点和支柱产业来发展，出台了诸多鼓励旅游业发展的优惠政策，提出把厦门建设成为海峡西岸经济区重要的旅游中心城市。//
在这里，我重点介绍几个项目。首先是民族路五星级酒店项目。项目地处厦门老城区的中心区域，地理位置十分优越，靠近厦门繁华的中山路商业圈，同时紧邻环岛路交通枢纽的鹭江道，交通非常便捷；再加上周边的风景十分优美，与厦门旅游的金字招牌——鼓浪屿旅游区隔海相望，是观赏鼓浪屿全岛和鹭江两岸风光的极佳位置。//
项目建设用地面积为9,066.409平方米，规划建设五星级大酒店，主要计划指标为地上总建筑面积不超过50,000平方米，容积率不大于5.51，建筑高度100米以下，建筑密度不大于45%，绿地率不小于30%。总投资4,836万美元，投资方式为独资。//

Let me begin with what corrosion is. Corrosion is the reaction of a metallic material with its environment. In all electrolytes, as for example, in the ground, in river or sea water, metal atoms go into solution as electrically charged ions during the corrosion reaction. ThIS process produces a more or less rapid loss of metal surfaces. The flow of electrons results in a current flowing from the metal to the electrolyte. //
Corrosion protection comes in two kinds: passive corrosion protection and active corrosion protection refers to using the cathodic corrosion protection technology. The technology used by our company is a type of active corrosion protection. //
