Sanya advances construction of an international tourism consumption center

In July 2026, Sanya launched the "Passport-Friendly" program to improve consumption convenience for inbound travelers. As "China Haul" gained popularity on overseas social platforms, "Sanya Haul" became a reflection of Sanya's international tourism consumption vitality. The new offshore duty-free policy, the dividends of the free trade port's island-wide customs closure, and the expansion of visa-free entry jointly drove the duty-free shopping boom; among foreign travelers with shopping records at cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex, customers from Russian-speaking countries and regions accounted for more than 60%. In the first 10 months of this year, Sanya received more than 1 million inbound tourists; since the launch of the "Passport-Friendly" program in July, foreign customers have accounted for 30% of customers at Sanya Joy City.
