Original Title: Hainan Opens Three New Duty-Free Stores on Coastal Islands, Ushering in an Era of Competition
China News Service, Sanya, December 30 (Reporter Wang Xiaobin and Wang Ziqian) Sanya, Hainan opened three new duty-free stores in the outer islands on the 30th, breaking the exclusive pattern of CDFG, and the duty-free peripheral island of Hainan officially ushered in the era of competition.
The three duty-free stores that opened that day were Sanya Hailv Duty Free City, China Service Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Park, and Sanya Phoenix Airport Duty Free.
According to the outlying islands tax exemption policy implemented in July this year, Hainan outlying islands passengers (including island residents) have a cumulative tax exemption limit of 100,000 yuan per person per year (RMB, same below), and seven new duty-free product categories including alcohol and consumer electronics. .
Hailv Duty Free City has established nearly 350 international brands including Gucci Makeup, CORUM, DJULA, FRED, BLANCPAIN, BYFAR and other top duty free brands on the island. On the opening day of the 30th, the tax-free city had accelerated traffic. In the electronics store, the high-end Apple 12 Pro Max mobile phone priced at 11,899 yuan on the official website is priced at 8,998 yuan. The preferential price spurred many viewers to buy, and the store temporarily increased the cash register to process customer orders.
Combining Hainan’s unique “health tourism” positioning, China Service Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Park features categories such as health food, health care products, medical equipment, massage equipment, toners, and electric toothbrushes. Liu Hongdi, deputy director general of the China Service Duty Free Operations Department, said that China Service Duty Free has realized the expansion of outlying islands duty-free categories and introduced sporting goods, watches, porcelain and other categories in the duty-free market of the outer islands of Hainan for the first time.
The newly opened duty-free store at the Sanya Phoenix Airport covers duty-free items such as cosmetics, sunglasses, watches, luggage, and imported alcohol. The store will adopt a “buy as you go” model and consumers can take the plane after purchasing the products.
The outlying islands tax exemption has played a positive role in guiding the return of consumption by Chinese residents abroad. According to statistics, from July to December 28 this year, the total tax-free sales (including taxes) of the outer islands of Hainan was 23.08 billion yuan, an increase of 221% year-on-year; among them, tax-free sales were 19.85 billion yuan, an increase of 188% year-on-year; the number of buyers was 3,733 million. A year-on-year increase of 76%; the number of purchases was 20.79 million, an interannual increase of 122%; per capita purchase value increased 63%.
It is understood that Haikou, the capital of Hainan, will establish three new duty-free shops in the near future. These are the China Tourism Group CDFG Duty Free Shop at Meilan Airport (Phase II), the Haikou Riyue Plaza Global Boutique Duty Free Shop of Global Consumer Boutique (Hainan) Trading Co., Ltd. and the State-owned of Shenzhen Duty Free Commodities (Group) Co., Ltd. The company’s Haikou Mission Hills Duty Free Store. By then, ten duty-free shops will coexist on Hainan Island. (End up)
