Maiden Hainan International Tourism Equipment Expo in Haikou

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 -- Haikou recently saw the opening of the three-day 2020 Hainan International Tourism Equipment Expo where various new equipment attracted widespread attention from tourists and citizens, alike.

These included intelligent manned autonomous flying machines, 360-degree transparent star gazing houses, unmanned sightseeing vehicles, autogiros and fixed-wing aircraft.

According to the organising committee in a statement, this year's tourism equipment expo is themed, ‘New Tourism, New Equipment, New Development’.

It set three major exhibition halls for high-end tourism transport equipment, tourism infrastructure equipment, and sports equipment for outdoor travel.

There were also eight exhibition areas, covering smart travel, recreational vehicles and camping equipment, outdoor tourism facilities, recreation facilities, outdoor sports equipment, marine tourism equipment, low-altitude flying equipment, and national tourist destinations.

Since the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port was released, a large number of preferential policies have been implemented to vitalise development of global free trade ports.

This provides new development opportunities for Hainan, promoting the high-quality development of the tourism industry, a pillar industry of Hainan Province.

The emergence of new-format tourism products such as road trips, waterfront tourism, low-altitude sightseeing tourism, and outdoor sports has boosted market demands for high-end tourism equipment like recreational vehicles, yachts, low-flying aircraft, cable cars, and recreation facilities.

Under this background, the 2020 Hainan International Tourism Equipment Expo was born at the right moment.
