Hainan unveils blueprint for int'l tourist island
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-04-26 09:36 China's southern island province of Hainan unveiled on Friday a blueprint aiming to build itself into an international tourist destination by 2028. Chen Cheng, Hainan's vice governor, said at a press conference the province would take about 20 years to internationalize its tourism facilities, services, products and improve the environment. The province will continue to implement its visa-free policies for tourists and open up aviation rights, introduce renowned overseas travel agencies and hotel management corporations, according to the action plans for the long-term goal of a first-class international tourist island. With an area of 34,000 square kilometers, tropical and subtropical Hainan was established in 1988 as a province and approved as a special economic zone enjoying preferential development policies. Last year, the island had 18.4 million tourist arrivals, including 750,000 from overseas, reaping 17.1 billion yuan ($2.4 billion) in revenue. The total tourist numbers and revenue were 24 times and 150 times, respectively, greater than those of 1987. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
