Haikou in Hainan province is enjoying a summer spending boom on tourism that combines 'duty-free shopping and vacation,' Huanqiu reported on the 21st, with Hainan's duty-free policy working as a key draw for visitors.

Under a policy to develop the whole island as a free-trade port, Hainan has expanded duty-free allowances and product lines. Travelers can buy cosmetics, electronics and more at duty-free prices while vacationing, keeping foot traffic steady.

For the summer holidays, Haikou's hotels, duty-free stores and beach sites brim with family visitors. As tourism and spending link up, local services and employment feel the warmth too.

When tourism spending rises, related industries—restaurants, transport, lodging—grow alongside duty-free stores. Hainan draws attention as a testing ground for stimulating domestic demand and reviving consumption.
