      What are the policies and development direction for the Hainan duty free industry

      Hainan has become a shopping paradise since the new offshore duty-free policy took effective in July 2020. In 2020, the total sales revenue of offshore duty-free shops in Hainan Province amounted to 32.7 billion Yuan.

      Operators in offshore duty-free shopping:

      Hainan Province has issued many offshore duty-free operating licenses. License holders include China Duty Free Group, Hainan Tourism Investment holding Group, Hainan Development Holdings, CNSC and Times DF.

      The world’s largest standalone duty-free shop:

      Sanya Haitang Bay International Shopping Centre is the world’s largest standalone duty-free shop, with a total building area of some 120,000 square meters and an area of 72,000 square meters for commercial purposes. Over 300 world-renowned brands operate in the Centre.

      China’s only offshore duty-free policy:

      Hainan is the fourth offshore duty-free zone globally.

      You can make duty-free shopping purchases without going abroad. It has an absolute advantage in product prices and categories in the national retail sector, and is an important global market for duty-free purchases.
