China’s Largest Tourist Hainan Island Doomed!December Sees Drastic Tourist Drop to Below 10% Of Past

Рет қаралды 78,145

6 ай бұрын

Sanya and Hainan Island, as some of China's few tropical seaside tourist destinations, naturally attract the country's 1.4 billion population, representing a huge development opportunity. However, the Chinese Communist Party's management of Hainan's development has been marked by numerous oversights, extensive management, and a lack of refined strategies. This has led to Sanya facing exorbitant hotel room fees, rampant fraud in the market, and dying corals in the sea. The savings accumulated over three years of the pandemic dissipate within ten days. Large tourism investment projects have not provided advancement opportunities for local residents.

I was scammed a few yuan here and there in Sanya, but nothing major and I was expecting this. Since my visit back in 2005, I've seen videos of Hainan beaches ankle-deep in rubbish from filthy Chinese tourists who don't take their crap home with them and there don't seem to be any beach cleaners. Most of my Chinese friends can't stand the place and complain that they'll never go there again. The commentator was right to point out how Southeast Asia is a more 'pleasant and affordable option.' I returned from Hainan with an ear infection from the hotel pool.

Forget about the added parking charges at each of the resorts. I know you have to pay extra for tourist hotspots but now they have all sorts of hidden fees. I don’t mind paying but I find it really upsetting get up charged. Unfortunately, there are so many places have adopted these hidden fees. I booked a hotel room near the fisherman’s wharf in San Francisco. The advertised rate was 139 a night. I thought that was really cheap. After checking out, I ended up paying 300.
