China News Service, Haikou, January 24 (Reporter Wang Ziqian) The closure of the Hainan Free Trade Port is approaching, and there is an urgent need to expand the "cake" of the economic aggregate.

Here, the Hainan Two Sessions clearly proposed to create three regional growth poles of "Haicheng Wending", "Greater Sanya", and Dan (zhou) Yang (Pu), and build a new pattern of regional coordinated development throughout the island.

  Hainan has set a goal of exceeding one trillion yuan in GDP by 2025 (the same below). How to keep the economy in a high growth range?

Yu Tao, director of the Hainan Free Trade Port Research Center of the China South China Sea Research Institute, pointed out that Hainan should promote the effective connection between regional economic development and the free trade port industrial system, form a dislocation and complementary pattern of industries in the economic circle, and play a leading role to rapidly expand the economic volume.

  This year's Hainan government work report proposes to speed up the implementation of the development layout of the "Haicheng Wending" economic circle, the "Greater Sanya" economic circle, the Dan (zhou) Yang (Pu) growth pole, the coastal city belt, and the ecological conservation area in the central mountainous area. , improve platforms, policies and projects, and empower the construction of free trade ports at a high level.

  Hainan has previously launched the "Haichengwen" economic circle and the "Greater Sanya" economic circle around the provincial capital Haikou and the famous tourist city Sanya.

However, judging from the economic data in 2021, Haikou's GDP has just exceeded 200 billion yuan, and Sanya's GDP is still less than 100 billion yuan. The economic aggregate is small and its driving effect is limited.

  How to give full play to the role of the "engine" of the free trade port construction, the officials in charge of Haikou, Sanya, and Danzhou Yangpu explained development strategies during the two sessions.

  Haikou Mayor Ding Hui said that in the next five years, Haikou will focus on the development of advanced manufacturing, biomedicine, Internet, new international offshore trade and other characteristic industries.

He revealed that Haikou is positioned as an international marine center city, and will drive the development of the airport economic zone by reconstructing the traffic pattern. It will also build a national-level biomedical industry cluster and a modern service industry cluster.

  Sanya, famous for its tourism, is changing its positioning as a single tourist city and embarking on a road of diversified development.

Sanya Mayor Bao Hongwen said that Sanya will create a destination city for domestic alternative outbound tourism and attract consumption back to the city, speed up the introduction of domestic and foreign enterprises to set up regional headquarters and functional headquarters, and promote the accelerated development of the breeding industry in the south.

  Danzhou is the largest city in Hainan Province by land area, and Yangpu is a "model room" to undertake the free trade port policy. The two places officially started the integration process at the end of last year.

Zou Guang, the mayor of Danzhou City, said that the integration of Danyang and Yangzhou will provide a larger platform for the stress test of the free trade port, and will also release policy dividends on a wider scale.

Zhou Junping, deputy secretary of the CPC Danzhou Municipal Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Yangpu Economic Development Zone Working Committee, and director of the Management Committee, said that in the future, the focus will be on cultivating three industrial clusters of over 100 billion in new petrochemical materials, port and shipping logistics, and international trade. To double the total economic output.

  Zhang Yong, a researcher at the Shanghai Free Trade Zone Comprehensive Research Institute of Fudan University, told reporters that on the one hand, Hainan should highlight the primacy of core cities and play its role as an engine in headquarters economy, technological innovation, financial agglomeration, and population introduction. Jump out of the "simple equation" of "Hainan = Haikou + Sanya".

He said: "The coastal city belt is conducive to enabling cities and counties to find their own positioning under the general framework and become 'individual champions' in some fields such as medical care, tropical agriculture, and commercial aerospace."

  Wenchang, a city in the "Haicheng Wending" economic circle, is the fourth aerospace city in China, and an international aerospace city is under construction.

Liu Chong, Mayor of Wenchang City, said that this year, a commercial space launch site will be built, and the construction of space tourism theme parks and space theme museums will be launched.
