On December 1st, the "Hainan Free Trade Port Tourism Regulations" officially came into effect, solidifying the achievements of tourism opening in the form of legislation, clarifying measures such as relaxing foreign investment access and promoting business integration. Experts say that the implementation of the regulations will inject strong impetus into Hainan's efforts to create a new global tourism investment hotspot and build an international tourism consumption center. The regulation specifically sets up a chapter on "Tourism Openness and Internationalization", proposing to gradually relax or cancel restrictions on foreign investment in the tourism industry in terms of admission qualifications, investment proportion, and business scope. Li Wenjun, Director of the Office of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Hainan Provincial People's Congress, stated in interpreting the core highlights of the regulations that the regulations aim to create a new highland for tourism internationalization and take the lead in implementing a series of high standard opening-up policies in the tourism sector; Enrich new forms of tourism consumption, fully leverage Hainan's tourism resources and ecological environment advantages, deepen the integration of tourism, culture, and sports, and promote the development of comprehensive tourism.

The regulation actively responds to the trend of tourism shifting from "sightseeing" to "experience", and promotes the deep integration of tourism and related industries. With the continuous development of the economy and society and the upgrading of consumption structure, Hainan's tourism industry has shown a new trend of diversified and high-quality development, "said Chen Tiejun, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports.
