A year ago the government classified Hainan as an "International Tourism Island." Now Hainan province is undergoing massive tourism development, both in infrastructure construction and policy.
Lu Zhiyuan, director of the Hainan Provincial Tourism Development Commission, said the Hainan East Ring Intercity Rail from Haikou to Sanya will open on December 5 while the West Ring Intercity Rail will soon start construction.
About 30 new five-star hotels are underway and should open within two years.
A space theme park is being planned for 2014/2015, and eight visitor centers in Haikou and 10 in Sanya are under construction.
China.org.cn reports that Hainan‘s provincial government has also increased the number of visa-free countries allowed to visit the island from 21 to 26 and has extended longer stays for foreigners.
