The
12th China Cruise Industry Development Conference closed in Sanya, south
China’s Hainan province, recently.
Representatives from cruise companies home and abroad, tourism
industries and local government attended the conference to discuss the future
development of Hainan’s cruise industry.
Hainan, the southern island of China known for its tropical
climate and alluring seas, has attracted more than 60 million tourists in 2016,
according to official data.
Against this backdrop, how to upgrade Hainan’s cruise industry
and benefit from its fast growing tourism has become the focus of the
conference.
Hainan has made great efforts to improve the infrastructure of
the cruise industry, optimizing the construction of Haikou Port and Sanya
Phoenix International Cruise Terminal and improving the cruise berths'
condition.
The capacity of cruise terminals in Hainan is expected to reach
one million people by 2020.
Some representatives at the conference also suggest that Hainan
should strengthen the cooperation with other coastal cities, such as Shenzhen
and Guangzhou.
As one of the earliest provinces that develop cruise tourism in
China, Hainan has seen a fast growth in cruise industry thanks to favored
policies.
