Breaking News: CNN Covers Tiens Tour's Groundbreaking Achievements

Overview

The video reports on Chinese health-products conglomerate Tiens celebrating its 20th anniversary with a large, all-expenses-paid trip for its employees to France. Organizers say the group—about 6,500 employees—traveled together as part of a major corporate event that included sightseeing in Nice and other well-known attractions.

Guinness World Record Attempt

A standout claim is that employees attempted to break a Guinness World Record on the French Riviera by delivering what is described as the longest human sentence uttered on the Côte d’Azur. The employees reportedly chanted “Tiens Dream—this is Nice” (or a similar variant).

Highlights of the Trip

The trip reportedly included:

• Private tour of the Louvre
• Exclusive shopping at Galeries Lafayette
• Sightseeing around Nice and other highly recognizable locations

Statements and Reported Costs

Tiens CEO Li Jinyuan is quoted as saying they “love France and Nice.” The report also adds that French tourism officials provided extensive support for the visiting group, and that the trip reportedly cost $15 million.
