And registered a new company in June.

　　Ma Yonghua said that Hainan's general aviation industry is booming, and a "land, sea and air" and "three-dimensional" mid-to-high-end consumption model integrating low-altitude flying tourism, yachts, sea fishing, and duty-free shopping has been initially formed.

　　According to reports, Hainan Jinlin Investment Group has deployed 8 general-purpose airports in Haikou, Danzhou, Dongfang, Sanya and other places. At the same time, it is planning to deploy 40 different types of flying stations on the coastal south ring road tourist highway.
