4. Advantage Analysis

(1) Policy Advantages

According to the Central Document No. 12 issued in 2018, focusing on the strategic positioning of "three districts and one center", clearly supporting Hainan's construction of an international tourism and consumption center, vigorously promoting the opening up of tourism and consumption industry, and actively cultivating tourism and consumption hot spots, improving service quality and internationalization, and creating an international tourism and consumption destination with rich business formats, brands clustering, comfortable environment and distinctive features.

On April 13, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping announced that the central government supported Hainan to gradually explore and steadily promote the construction of the free trade port with Chinese characteristics. In order to implement the requirements of the“Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port” promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on June 1, 2020, the recently released “Announcement on the Tax-Free Shopping Policy for Hainan Outlying Islands Tourists”clearly stated the relevant policies and regulations:

Tax-free shopping quota is 100,000 yuan per person, unlimited times; 7 types of consumer-favored products including electronics are added to the categories of duty-free products;only the single purchase quantity of cosmetics, mobile phones and alcohol products are restricted. The offshore duty-free policy has further received strong support from the central government.

The policy effects have been continuously released, and the operating efficiency continues to grow. In addition, import duties, import value-added tax and consumption tax are exempted for imported goods for personal use by local residents. According to the overall strategic positioning of the Hainan Free Trade Port International Tourism and Consumption Center, within the next five years, Hainan will build a world-class fashion shopping center.

With Haikou and Sanya as the key areas, a large-scale business circle with international influence, a high-grade pedestrian street and a high-end commodity bonded exhibition and trading center will be built to provide brands with the best operating sites.

(2) Market Advantages

Hainan Province is the only province in China that can enjoy duty-free shopping without going abroad. Since the implementation of the offshore duty-free policy, Hainan is deeply developing the high-end consumer goods market, and has an absolute advantage with the far lower prices and abundant products,comparing with the domestic retail market.

By the end of 2019, the offshore duty-free policy has been implemented for more than eight years. Duty-free sales increased from 2.367 billion yuan in 2012 to 13.492 billion yuan in 2019. In 2019, the number of shoppers reached 3.762 million, sales and number of shoppers increased by 34% and 31% respectively compared with last year, duty-free sales continued to maintain strong growth.

(3) Unique Geographical Advantage

With a land area of 35,400 square kilometers, Hainan Province is the China’s second largest island with a population of approximately 9.3 million. It has an advantageous geographical location and is the geometric intersection center of the South China Economic Circle, the Beibu Gulf Economic Circle, the ASEAN Economic Circle, and the Southeast Asian Economic Circle. It is a regional shipping hub connecting the southeast coast, ASEAN and Southeast Asia. It is also China’s important open gateway to the Pacific and Indian Oceans. In addition, the entire Chinese inland market will become its economic hinterland.

5. Project Planing and Supporting Facilities

Hainan will invest in the new generation of information technology such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence to optimize technical standards for e-commerce transactions, payments, logistics, foreign exchange settlement and sales, simplify the customs clearance business processes and supervision models, and help high-end brands build a "smart business circle" that integrates physical retail and online retail, and further expand sales channels.
