Domestic tourism benefits from favorable policies

China Daily  

Revelers enjoy a summer carnival at Shijingshan Recreational Park, Beijing, on July 2. Flights between Shanghai and Hainan have gradually resumed, while airfares have risen as tourism rebounds due to the stabilization of COVID-19 outbreaks and the relaxation of pandemic prevention and control policies in Hainan, according to Ctrip, a major online ticketing service company. Deng Yongbo, secretary-general of the Sanya Tourism Association, said hotel occupancy rates in the city have risen far above 60 percent on average. With parents enjoying promotions at duty-free shops, their children are offered a range of activities by hotels nearby, including summer camps providing programs such as surfing, diving and other outdoor sports," said Lai Meichen, a manager with The Westin Resort at Sanya Haitang Bay. Experts said the steady revival of Hainan's tourism industry is set to continue in the second half of this year following the development of leisure and entertainment programs and the introduction of measures to support the growth of Hainan Free Trade Port as an international tourism consumption destination.
