[Explanation] On October 2, the reporter saw in Sanya International Duty Free City that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday, many tourists who came to Hainan to travel in Hainan bought duty-free goods at the duty-free shop, and the shop was very popular.
Cosmetics, perfumes, luggage and other categories have attracted many young men and women to buy; candy, milk powder and other categories have attracted family travellers to choose; health care equipment and other categories have attracted middle-aged and elderly people to stop... Many tourists said that they will be tax-free when they come to Hainan Shop, if you don’t visit the duty-free shop, you will always feel that there is something lacking in the Hainan tour itinerary. If you want to buy it or not, you will mainly come over to "check in" and feel the atmosphere of the duty-free shop.
[Concurrent] Ms. Yang, the passenger
Bring children to play, if there are suitable (duty-free goods) is not better.
(Where are you from?) We are from Xi'an.
(Doesn’t it feel like there is a little less travel if you don’t visit the duty-free shop before leaving the island?)
(That is, you have to punch a card when you come?) As for whether to buy or not, let's go around.
[Concurrent] Traveller Ms. Wang
Now we come to Sanya, which is a must-have place to check in, and we will definitely come.
[Concurrent period] Mr. Chen, the passenger
(Is it here for shopping or traveling?) Traveling, come here by the way.
[Explanation] Sun Xiangtao, deputy secretary general of the Haikou Travel Agency Association, said that duty-free shopping on outlying islands has become one of Hainan’s tourist attractions. To meet the needs of tourists, many travel agencies have included "visiting duty-free shops" in product design and routing. In order to attract more tourists to Hainan.
[Concurrent] Sun Xiangtao, Deputy Secretary-General of Haikou Travel Agency Association
First, our travel agency uses tax exemption as a medium and tax exemption as an attraction to attract mainland tourists through tax exemption; the second tax-free product will bring some tangible benefits to tourists, so we also use the policy Dongfeng can attract tourists through tax exemption.
Therefore, when designing products and in terms of route itinerary, the teams entering and leaving Haikou will add the duty-free shops in Shanghai, and the teams entering and leaving Sanya will join the duty-free shops in Sanya.
We have built the duty-free shop into a tourist attraction in Hainan, through which we can increase the highlights and characteristics of our tourist products.
