HAIKOU, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) — Duty-free sales in southern China's island province of Hainan were strong during the eight-day National Day holiday, also known as "golden week," according to Haikou Customs.
Haikou Customs oversaw duty-free sales totaling 944 million yuan (US$132.5 million) from about 122,900 shoppers during the holiday from October 1 to 8, with per capita spending averaging 7,685 yuan, up 13.6 percent, 3.2 percent and 10 percent year-on-year, respectively.
To prepare for the peak holiday shopping period, the flagship duty-free store in Haikou, the capital of Hainan Province, organized various events, including food tastings and themed flash mobs, to offer a diverse shopping experience.
In June 2020, China released the Hainan Free Trade Port Master Plan, aiming to develop Hainan Island into a high-level free trade port with global influence by the middle of this century.
Thanks to this policy, the island province of Hainan has become a popular shopping destination for Chinese consumers, currently boasting 12 offshore duty-free shops.
