The world's largest special zone, with low income and high consumption, not many tourists, and a unique scene
As a general practice, the average wages and economic development of cities in the special administrative regions should be better than those of other provinces and cities, such as Shenzhen and Xiamen, and their average wages are higher than those of the surrounding provinces and cities, because they have different advantages. Can you believe that as China's largest special economic zone, the country's tourism industry is not as good as that of a mainland provincial capital.
Hainan Province is located in the southernmost part of China, consisting of Hainan Island and three islands in the central and southwestern sands, with a total land area of 3540,000 square kilometers, while the ocean has more than 2 million square kilometers. Hainan has been a special administrative region since 1985, making it the largest provincial special administrative region in China and the largest in the world. Although Hainan Province was the first province to be developed, it has become one of the least developed provinces in the country, and even the GDP of a mainland city can be compared to Hainan.
Since January 2018, China's major provinces and cities have successively released tourism statistics for 2017, and Hainan Province ranks 16th in the country, with a total annual income of 67.45 million passengers, less than 81.2 billion yuan, only 14 of that of neighboring Guangdong Province7%ï¼›Xiamen, which is also a special administrative region, has only 20 percent of Hainan's land area and less than half of Hainan's population, but its total tourism output value is $35 billion higher than Hainan's. Even Lijiang, a small inland town, has far more statistics than Hainan: it receives less than 27 million people, but its GDP is only lower than Hainan's, and its per capita spending is more than 50% of Hainan's.
In terms of tourism facilities, Xiamen and Lijiang are not comparable with Hainan, which is known as the "high-end atmosphere": the world's top 25 hotels have 134 in Hainan, and Sanya alone has dozens of golf coursesIn Xiamen, five years after its establishment in Hainan, there are only 18 (excluding quasi-five-star), while Lijiang has only 9. There are only two duty-free shops in China, and there are two in Hainan, and there are dozens of private beaches abroad.
When it comes to tourism resources, Hainan's coastal areas and pure sea are incomparable to those of Yunnan and Lijiang. In short, Hainan has islands that other countries don't have, while Hainan has things that are unique to China (such as food, food, people), but it is not as good as the mainland in terms of economy and the number of tourists, why is that?
The first is fame, Hainan, as China's second special administrative region, has experienced a wave of tourism sweetness, there is no industry comparable to it, so the entire province is vigorously developing tourism. Therefore, China's first negative news about tourism started in Hainan, whether it is high-ranking officials and nobles, or ordinary people, they have been deceived and cannot be prevented at all.
Hainan has been listed as a "blacklist" for five years since the Internet, but the problems of "stealing customers", "pulling people" and "bullying and dominating the market" still exist. Today, the first feeling that Chinese have about Hainan is: expensive, expensive, distressing. Sanya No. 1 seafood market used to be the most popular, but then because of the quality problems exposed, tourists have run to the No. 2 market, in less than two years, Hainan has "fallen", and now even Haikou has been occupied, it can be said that doing seafood business here is a very challenging thing.
Secondly, the ticket price here is rare in China, and most of them are naturally formed attractions, a ticket of 100 yuan, in addition, tourists also need to buy a one-way ticket, the battery ticket of Wuzhizhou Island around the island costs 150 yuan. And the housing prices are high and the income is low, I think friends who travel to Hainan know that the cost of traveling in Hainan for a week is enough to travel to Thailand and Malaysia for a month.
Of course, there are also some people who believe that Qiongzhou's seafood is the root cause of Hainan's slow development, but what about Taiwan Province across the Taiwan Strait?What's going on with the worse tourism in a special administrative region than in a mainland city?
