KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 23 — Recently, on a list of ‘Top 100 Cities in China’s Tide Economy 2021’, co-published by domestic media, think-tanks and Internet service organisations, Sanya, which has been dubbed ‘Hawaii of China’, was again on the list with a ranking of 34th among 337 cities in China.

In China, more and more cities are creating unique ‘Online Celebrity’ labels. The city managers not only show the individuality of the city to the public through internet heat, city vitality, current life, industry development, but also make urban plannings, create city images and stimulate the economic vitality of the city and its surrounding areas.
Recently, Sanya, a famous tourist city, located in the south of Hainan, made great efforts to build a benchmark city of International Tourism Consumption Center by taking the opportunity of China’s construction of Hainan Free Trade Port Zone and international tourism consumption centre.
Besides its best-known duty-free shopping tours, Sanya, warm and humid throughout the year, has become a popular spot for tourists with interesting sea sports, luxury high-end hotel enclave and many well-known sporting events and music activities.
Especially under the influence of COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese tourists, unable to travel abroad, have regarded Sanya as the pre-eminent substitute.
Sanya Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism said Sanya would continuously innovate tourism management mode in the future, focusing on the development of more than 10 new tourism forms such as cruise tourism, yacht tourism, and health tourism.
This is to enrich the system of holiday leisure tourism products and attract more global tourists.
