Xie Huanjie, a spokesman for Hainan Strait Shipping Co., Ltd., said that the relevant relief measures for non-Qiong-based vehicles crossing the sea were the first time they had encountered it in the past 30 years.
[Same period] (Xie Huanjie, spokesperson of Hainan Strait Shipping Co., Ltd.) It can be said that I have been working on the terminal for nearly thirty years. This relief is the first time, and it is the first time in my mind. Judging from my history of the development of the entire terminal, it is indeed the first time such a large-scale relief has come for the postgraduate study.
[Explanation] Xie Huanjie said that the main purpose of this measure is to help pull the Hainan tourism sector, and to further attract self-driving tourists to Hainan, thereby driving Hainan's tourism economy to improve.
[In the same period] (Xie Huanjie, spokesperson of Hainan Strait Shipping Co., Ltd.) is to promote the tourism sector and formulate such preferential policies, mainly to allow these self-driving drivers and passengers to reduce their transportation costs.
