12/31/2010 Hainan International tourism in 2010 and prospects for 2011: Hainan vs Hong Kong?

Then came the last day of 2010 - is a the first year of construction of the International tourism in the Hainan Island, which resulted in achieved very mixed results. On the one hand, achieved the largest in the world results for the construction of infrastructure of International resort: in the Hainan Island has been built and commissioned high-speed railway Haikou-Sanya, construction of new hotels, stadiums, parks, water parks, International exhibition centers, beach resorts and urban infrastructure cities. Nowhere in the world there was no such development and such investments in 2010.

If you take the main countries of the world's resorts in 2010, then up to 2010, in the Hainan Island has been invested in the 1.76 times more funds, than in 2010 was invested in Thailand, Egypt, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Vietnam together, and on scale projects for the next 5 years, Hainan almost 11 times faster than all the resorts on the scale of investment.

But at the same time in the Hainan Island in 2010, foreign tourists have arrived in 157 (!!!) times less, than in Thailand, Egypt, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Vietnam combined. This discrepancy amount invested and the number of foreign tourists visiting anywhere else in the world, nor in 2010 or earlier were not observed. This suggests that in 2010, despite the excellent beaches, good environment and an abundance of fruit in the Hainan Island, were not created conditions that meet the requirements of foreign tourists, because of what they chose other resorts in the world to relax and not come to Hainan .

One of the main problems- is a irregular methods of work with foreign tourists and drive up prices for foreign tourists for many goods and services in the resort towns of the island of Hainan, as well as the reluctance of many in the tourism infrastructure to reckon with the needs of foreign tourists, this is manifested in the fact that often in hotels system is not all inclusive, foreign tourists are offered unusual for them to food, hotels include the cost of the tour only breakfast and lunch and dinner in many restaurants in the hotel prices are much too high compared to prices at other resorts in the world.

Also, hotel management did not take into account national peculiarities in the celebration of holidays, offering to celebrate Christmas and New year to a maximum of 12 nights, because of which millions of foreign tourists have gone to celebrate New Year in Thailand, Egypt, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Vietnam, but very little who came to celebrate New Year in the Hainan Island. Management of hotels in Sanya City is well aware of that, hotels are big losses, but still stubbornly hotel management imposes its understanding of service to tourists, not wanting to change anything, but trying to change the tastes of tourists. But the problem is that tourists come to the resorts do not change their tastes, and something to learn from the Chinese comrades, and the tourists who come to resorts to relax, sunbathe, swim and relax in the world, so the resort in the world, management which understands this and attracts the most tourists.

Because of this incompetent management policy objects of tourist infrastructure in relation to foreign tourists for 360 days in 2010 in the Hainan Island came as many foreign tourists, but in Thailand came in just 4 days (!!!), in Egypt-only 17 Day, Cuba- just 20 days, then there is reason to rejoice no, there is only reason to change the methods and ways of working with foreign tourists and to improve service to foreign tourists on the tourist infrastructure of the island of Hainan.

It should be noted also incompetent information policy in the sphere of international tourism, especially the issue was sharply during the October flooding in the east of Hainan Island in October 2010, when many news agencies in Russia, many people began to write about the sinking of the Sanya City, we are the first directly refuted all these "messages" and sent a letter to those media with the request that they remove all information about the sinking of the Sanya City, we were told that information they take directly from the Chinese media, we looked and saw that the Chinese media reported flooding in the Hainan Island, but representatives of the Chinese media did not take into account the important fact-the majority (99%) of Russian tourists visit the Sanya City, only for Russian citizens, Hainan and Sanya is the same thing, so everything is automatically tied flood of Hainan Island with the flooding of the Sanya City, from because of what happened the mass abandonment of tours to the Hainan Island, and still the tourists are afraid to travel to Hainan Island to relax, although the effects of flooding, which was 150 km away from Sanya City, has not left any, and Sanya have already forgotten the second day after heavy rains, as the landscape of the Sanya City eliminates the possibility of flooding. Until now, the Internet, these are reports of flooding and they will be there all the years is necessary to consider and introduce strict censorship on the news about the island of Hainan, which scare away tourists.

Also, many so-called international events take place without the advertising support for foreign languages, most international events in English and Russian languages can be found only on our website, with all the information we need to get yourself, one of the organizers does not want us to help, they refuse to provide information to us, even in Chinese, although we offer them free to transfer their advertisements from Chinese into English and Russian languages and place in the Internet, but they do not want it and deem it unnecessary, it greatly complicates our work and every day we spend hours trying to find the right information and tell people around the world about what a wonderful event are now in the Hainan Island, but it also has positive aspects, since we are using information from many foreign sources, about 25 % of our news about the island of Hainan contain more information in English and Russian languages, than similar news in Chinese in the Chinese media. We have already appeared regular visitors from Singapore, Canadian provinces and Australia, which are known that most of their inhabitants are Chinese. Also, we have got regular visitors to the United States, Australia, China, Canada, Western Europe, Asia, South America and CIS countries, even from Africa to come to us constantly every day. In China, our site is most popular in Beijing, where we read the news daily and several times a day in two languages.

As for the prospects of International tourism in the Hainan Island in 2011, then on December 27, 2010 there was a unique event - China's Government changed the tax policy for foreign tourists to Hainan Island, due to changes, foreign tourists will be able to buy goods in the Hainan Island is cheaper, than the citizens of the PRC (for details see the news on our website from 12.27.2010). This may lead to the fact, that the Hainan Island can be a major destination for shopping among foreign tourists, but now the main place for shopping is Hong Kong, we immediately began to track the press in Hong Kong in order to response to this change in tax policy in the Hainan Island and the reaction of the representatives of the Government of Hong Kong not long in coming: already December 28, 2010 held an interview with Michael Wu, Chairman of the Travel Industry Council, a journalist's question, that is not afraid to whether Mr. Wu, what Hainan Island, as a result of new tax policy, to lure foreign tourists from all Hong Kong, Michael Wu, laughed and replied that he did not fear because in Hong Kong to create better conditions for foreign tourists. What, Michael Wu has not explained, but those, who came to Hong Kong can relax this to see ourselves, in contrast to the Sanya City, you will not be met at the airport in Hong Kong crowd of guides, you will not be forced to carry on so-called "factory" where the goods from Chinese stores sell on highly inflated prices, many inscriptions in Hong Kong are duplicated in English, so you can easily visit on their own tours, markets, shops, etc., without intrusive care guides, in Hong Kong all done to yourself and quickly organize your holiday shopping, and that can not be said now about the island of Hainan.

Because of this, for 360 days in 2010 of foreign tourists in Hong Kong came to 100.5 times more, than they arrived on the island of Hainan. But from 27.12.2010, the Hainan Island have a good chance to make up to 2011 in the Hainan Island profits of foreign tourists to 100.5 times more, than in Hong Kong, only for it must not inflate prices for foreign tourists, to improve service duplicate the inscriptions in Russian and English, to take into account the tastes and wishes of foreign tourists, it is possible to achieve a sharp increase in the number of foreign tourists.

We think that it is possible for only a year, in the Hainan Island the infrastructure now is better, than in Hong Kong, and then it will be much better in future!

01/07/2011 Sanya City has dropped to eighth place in the 2010 China Travel City Rankings

After we published our article on December 31, 2010, we received several letters, alleging that the Sanya City is in the first place among the preferences of foreign tourists, and we incorrectly wrote, that the Sanya City in 2010 was losing its tourist appeal.

Impression that foreign tourists visiting China, the most preferred the Sanya City really could happen, if only read the local press of Hainan Province, but if you read already press of PRC, that is, read the official Government edition of the PRC, the impression of the actual location of the Hainan Island in the preferences of foreign tourists formed a rather sad.

We give details of voting, which ended only recently - on December 28, 2010 and was officially organized by the China Radio International and officially supported by the Ministry of Tourism, the vote was conducted on the Internet, with the participation of 31 foreign media in 43 languages around the world. Voting was to determine the most popular destinations for tourists, participated in the voting for about five million foreigners and voting results - Top-10, defined as follows (in descending order of ranking): Harbin, Hangzhou, Huangshan, Jinan, Kashgar, Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, Luoyang, Sanya, Suzhou and Xi'an. Moreover, Harbin scored a lot more votes, than the Sanya City, although neither in Harbin, nor in other eight cities in this ranking, is not carried out such an ambitious program of construction of International tourism, as is done in the Sanya City, on the scale of investment in tourism infrastructure, Sanya City -is in the lead among all these cities, by a considerable margin, but it has not helped the Sanya City to get even one of the leaders of this vote, the reason is obvious- is a small number of foreign tourists, due to improper methods of work with foreign tourists and inflated prices for foreign tourists.

Everyone knows the proportion of tourists from which country is the greatest in Harbin and in Sanya- are a tourists from Russia, and if in Harbin account the wishes of Russian tourists, then in the Sanya is now used the same methods of work with foreign tourists, which was also used ten and five years ago, and if no change in the method of work with foreign tourists, the more the situation for the Sanya City will only get worse, since already in the press of Heilongjiang Province (the administrative center of which is Harbin) has information about the plan to build on one of the islands in the Amur River, directly opposite of Khabarovsk, a major water recreation center until 2013, especially for Russian tourists, on whose territory will be the beaches, aquapark, discos, restaurants and shopping malls. Now we collect more material about this and further details will write, but now one thing is clear- if on that island in the Amur River, in Heilongjiang province, is really will built a entertainment center,- it will clearly very sharp decline the number of Russian tourists to the Hainan Island.

That is, the Hainan Island has hampered competition not only from outside China, but from another provinces of China, and in 2011 should be much change in order to work with foreign tourists, among the main measures include:
-Prohibition of overcharging for foreign tourists
-Ban to guides, working with foreign tourists, to take cash and currency exchange,
-Prohibit all side-income for guides of travel agencies, it is necessary that all tour guides will work exclusively on wages (as they are working now with Chinese tourists), that is necessary to create equal conditions for foreign and Chinese tourists
-Improved service in the hotels of Hainan Island, the introduction of the system "All inclusive" with the tastes of foreign tourists,
-Wide dissemination of information about tourist infrastructure of the Hainan Island at least in English and Russian languages, not only in Chinese,
-Creation of duplicate inscriptions in Russian and English on the tour sites, shops, restaurants, buses, etc.

We also received several letters, which states that the Hainan Island is a only Chinese resort, which exclusively designed for the Chinese, but we believe the error of this view, since after the December 2009 The Chinese Government has decided to turn the Hainan Island to International Resort, and in 2010 Hainan Island has so many corporate and government investment (and even more will get), that only the Chinese tourists will return these investments, even at a zero return, on only a minimum of 65 years, and corporate investors in Hainan Province of China will not wait so long, they will go for the obvious way - with a lack of tourists -will increase the their prices in tourist infrastructure of Hainan Island, and this process has already begun in November 2010, when news of flooding scared away foreign and Chinese tourists from visiting the Hainan Island.

Foreign tourists spend in several times more money on leisure in the Hainan Island, than the Chinese tourists and foreign tourists will help much more quickly recoup the costs of the infrastructure of the Hainan Island. So now the only one way to Hainan Island to become a resort - is to will be an International Resort!

If the number of foreign tourists will continue to decline in 2011, it will cause an even greater prices increases and, accordingly, this will reduce the number of Chinese tourists already, that it is now observed.

Hainan Island could be the Chinese resort until 2010, ie before large investments, and now the Hainan Island has one way - is a way to International Resort!

We are confident, that the Sanya City has the best conditions in 2011 to take first place in the Chinese tourism rankings, if they made the necessary changes and they will be strictly controlled, it is now time for change.

We are confident, that Hainan Island has better opportunity to become the best resort in the world!

New Chinese Resort on the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island will take away the parts of the Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean tourists from the resorts of Hainan Island
Friday, 17 June 2011 13:57
 

Joyless news for the tourism industry of Hainan Province, announced the Chief of the Office for Tourism of Heilongjiang Province: the first Chinese and Russian tourists can visit the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island from July 20, 2011. Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island is located directly opposite the city of Khabarovsk. Note, that the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island is a joint Russian-Chinese island, since 2005 the island passed to China by international treaty. In November 2010, between the Russian Government and the State Council of China, it was agreed that both parties will jointly develop the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island, which is supposed to make the largest resort in China, designed for tourists from Russia, China, Korea and Japan. Chinese companies have already invested in the infrastructure of the island almost 1,5 billion U.S. dollars. On the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island will be located beaches, hotels, restaurants, airport, river port, as well as a large free trade zone. Almost certainly, the new Chinese resort on the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island will take away a significant parts of Russian, Japanese and Korean tourists in the summer time from resorts of Hainan Island. Therefore, Hainan Island awaits further large-scale reduction in the number of foreign tourists. Tourist infrastructure of the Hainan Island need in urgent changes, especially the reduction of prices at local resorts, the organization of additional flights from Russia and the development of marketing of local tourism products, many of which, except on our website, nowhere else do not publish in Russian and English languages. However, it seems, on Hainan is no one cares, despite the fact that we are more than 11 months every day, reported news of the tourist infrastructure of the Hainan Island - we did not receive any information from any support agencies and organizations of Hainan Province, in spite of our numerous complaints to Department of tourism and other structures of Hainan Province and Sanya City.

The visa regime in the resorts of Hainan Island is for the foreigners one of the toughest in the world
Wednesday, 29 June 2011 13:41
 

As we reported on our website- on Monday, June 27, 2011 The Government of India significantly increased duration of tourist and business visas for Russian citizens, and yesterday, on June 28, 2011, the Government of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) announced, that foreigners, who bought property in the UAE can easily get a UAE visas for three years. It should be noted, that although in Hainan visa-free entry for citizens of the Russian Federation, South Korea and Germany is for a period of 21 days and for 23 nationals of other countries is for 15 days, however, reviews of foreign tourists, this is a very short period, it is necessary visa-free entry to Hainan at least three months, as well as the granting of visas to foreigners, who buy real estate on Hainan Island -at least a year. As you know, even if a foreigner buys property in millions of U.S. dollars on Hainan Island- this will not help him get a visa in China (Hainan), he will get Chinese visa for a maximum of three months, and usually- one-month visa. So now it is expected, that the UAE would be taken away from Hainan Island a potential investors, wanting to buy real estate in the tropics, on the coast. It is unclear- why there is such a tough visa regime on Hainan Island, which deters many foreign tourists from visiting the resorts of Hainan Island. Now, from the June 27, 2011 foreign tourists will be prefer to go relax and buy real estate in resorts of India and the UAE, than in the resorts of Hainan Island.

Six regions of Russia will receive charters to Israel - Hainan awaits drop of tourism
Monday, 19 September 2011 15:33

http://hainanwel.com/en/hainan-news/922 ... otels.html

According to Anna Podgornaya, general manager of the tourist company "Pegas Touristik", starting this year, resorts of Israel, especially the city of Eilat, should become one of the major tourist destinations for the Russian tourist market. Already this year in Israel will launch new charter flights from Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Samara, Ufa. Note, that the company "Pegas Touristik" is one of the major tour operators on the island of Hainan, but charters "Pegas Touristik" fly in the Sanya City on Hainan Island in conjunction with flights to resorts of Thailand, which creates a huge inconvenience for tourists, wishing to visit the island of Hainan, as easier and cheaper to fly to Thailand for rest. Given the fact, that from the city of Moscow on Hainan Island there is only one charter flight, and only once a week, but almost impossible to buy cheap tickets for a flight from Moscow to Sanya as well as travel agencies from the city of Moscow redeem these tickets for this single flight and then only sell along with their tours. Therefore, if the opening of new charter flights from Russia to Israel, fewer tourists will visit the resorts of Hainan Island, as cheaper and faster to fly for rest in Israel. If those involved in the development of tourism on the island of Hainan finally contributed the opening of new charter flights from the cities of Russia on the island of Hainan, and would increase the visa-free stay in Hainan Island for Russian tourists, at least up to 90 days (as is done in Israel), then Russian tourists would be more on the island of Hainan. A number of Russian tourists decreases from year to year on the island of Hainan, although statistics in the local Chinese press shown, that number of Russian tourists - on the contrary, strongly increasing. But on our website we do not shown of Hainan tourism statistics from the Hainan local press, as it is not supported by the Russian data and the statistics of the United States and the countries of Eastern and Western Europe. Therefore, it is time to take concrete steps to increase the number of foreign tourists to Hainan Island, but this requires at least two things: cheap flights from major cities in Russia and the countries of Europe and visa-free stay in Hainan Island by at least 90 days.

The second year of international tourism on Hainan Island, China
Saturday, 31 December 2011 18:47

http://hainanwel.com/en/hainan-news/133 ... sland.html

The 2011 marked as the second year of international tourism on the island of Hainan, Hainan Island up to 2020 must become one of the best international resorts in the world. And all the tourists, visiting the island of Hainan can see how much changed of infrastructure of Hainan Island and the Sanya City in the last two years, thanks to the initiatives and investments of the Government of China, the Hainan Island has become virtually the only resort in the world, where constructed a modern tourist infrastructure: uses high-speed railway, built a new and modern hotels, roads, undeveloped the beach area, on the beaches located a clean modern restrooms and showers, regularly cleaning streets and the beach area, buildings of futuristic design with an unprecedented LED with cost nearly $ 100 million was installed on the island of Phoenix.

This new infrastructure is not located in any city in the world, the Sanya City on the availability of physical infrastructure is already is the best resort in the world, but only by physical infrastructure, according to the latest publications in the press in Russia, CIS, USA and Western Europe - resorts of Sanya and Hainan Island are not popular among tourists in Russia, CIS countries, the USA and Western Europe, for example, ten days ago, one of the most major news agencies in Russia- the RIA-Novosti reported about the results of its research -on what areas in the world are the popular for russian tourists, but Hainan Island did not appear in the results of this study among those areas for recreation, which prefer to choose Russian citizens for recreation.

And there are several reasons - the lack of cheap flights from Russian cities to the Sanya City and Haikou City on Hainan Island, Chinese airlines does not carry Russian tourists to Hainan Island from cities of Russia, Russian tourists get to the island of Hainan or buy a tour of tour operators, or make several changes to reach the island of Hainan, and it is very tedious and expensive, and not everyone can get to the island of Hainan, as tour operators can offer only a few planes in a week to all Russian cities, in general, this leads to the fact, that the resorts in India, Thailand, UAE and Indonesia for tourists from Russia, CIS countries, the U.S. and Western European countries can get for the price 2-3 times cheaper, than the resorts of the island of Hainan. The situation can only fix the introduction of new flights to the resorts of Hainan from Russia, CIS countries, USA and Western European from Chinese companies, it is possible and quite profitable, it can be seen in Hong Kong, which daily receives many flights from Russia, CIS countries, U.S. and Western Europe. Note, that the distance to the Hong Kong and to the Hainan Island from Russia, CIS countries, USA and Western Europe, almost is the same, but the cost of trip to the island of Hainan is much higher. If is this possible in Hong Kong, why is it impossible on the island of Hainan?

As we have been able to ascertain from the public data, the large Hong Kong companies and Hong Kong financial groups, that have an impact on Chinese airlines are more interested in the development of Hong Kong, but do not in the development of the island of Hainan, its potential competitor, if you look closely, even the schedule of flights from Sanya to Hong Kong for many years, is structured in such a way, that is very difficult fly to Hong Kong from Sanya and catch the most flights to Russia, CIS countries, the USA and Western Europe in one day- you will spend the night in Hong Kong, in addition, despite the fact that the flight to Sanya from Hong Kong takes about an hour, the cost of this trip is comparable to the cost of flights to other Chinese cities that are located at a distance of nearly 7 times further, than distance to the Sanya City.

By the way, just a few weeks ago in Hong Kong there was a joint conference of Hainan Province and Hong Kong, where companies from Hong Kong was given the right to develop of international tourism on the island of Hainan. As reported by one newspaper of Hainan on the results of this conference, "Hong Kong will be provide valuable and sage advices on the development of international tourism on Hainan Island." Not a bit of doubt, that the advices of the Hong Kong companies will be valuable and wise question only, for whom - for Hong Kong or Hainan?

We had to work with representatives from Hong Kong company, which was the organizer of one of the largest exhibitions on the island of Hainan, and we hit the professionalism of the Hong Kong company - the response to our request for information about this exhibition came after 40 minutes after our letters, they look through our website and offered free of charge to attend all the events of the this exhibition during the entire time it works, so that we can in the Russian and English report about this exhibition, although the cost of tickets for this show in several times greater, than the cost of tickets to the exhibitions, which organized by representatives of tourism infrastructure of the island of Hainan. Note, that almost 100% of all our letters to local companies and the Departments of Hainan Island are not answered at all.

It should be noted, that for all time of operation of our website, although we reported about a hundred various fairs, festivals, etc. - never representatives of tourism infrastructure of the island of Hainan did not give us any information about the exhibitions for free, for example, comes our representative to the manager of a well-known in the Sanya City, the venue of Miss World and offers: "Can we write about your wonderful place the good article in Russian and English with photos and address, so that tourists could to visit all of your shows? ". They answered: " Of course, just buy our tickets and work- write about us the good article, we will be happy! ". By the way, we posted on our website the more information about this place in Russian and English languages, than all other websites combined.

And this is a typical situation, searching for information about Hainan Island, we are spending personal money and personal time, judging by the number of visits, this information is very popular among foreign tourists, probably due to the fact, that more it was nowhere to be found. But the main problem is that the information we have basically taken from the local press of Hainan Island, and the local press in Hainan Island in the majority of cases reported many of the events already upon their conduct, so we can not tell about the many interesting events in advance, so that foreign tourists could learn about these events in advance and arrive on the island of Hainan to see them.

To do this, we have came to the Department of Tourism of Sanya City and to the Department of Tourism of Hainan Province, unfortunately, the leaders we could not meet, every time they have been very busy, we have offered them for free to translate into Russian and English and send them any information about upcoming events on the island of Hainan, and if they have provided to us it in Chinese, if the some of this information can be used on our website. But they were told, that they have professionals, that make a site about Hainan in seven foreign languages, which themselves can translate any information.

But it was more than a year since then, and still HainanWel.com is only one website on the Internet, which are regularly reported in two languages ​​about the wonderful tourist events on the island of Hainan. We all enjoy of the island of Hainan, and we believe - it is the best place for a holiday in the world, so we spend time and money to convince other people to come to rest on the island of Hainan, but in this respect, we make it very difficult. Most of these people in the Sanya City was surprised, that in our site can advertise for free.

But in turn the most we do not have surprised of the representatives of the tourist infrastructure of the island of Hainan, but a representative of one of the largest websites in China, emerging in several languages ​​worldwide, including in Russian: when we turned to them to put some of our articles about Hainan Island, that foreign tourists can know - what a wonderful tourist infrastructure is built on Hainan Island, they were told- it is possible, but it will cost for us about $ 5,000 (the amount was specified in RMB) and not at all, and - in a every year. When we asked why, we, the foreigners, which are perfectly free to publish articles in Russian and English about the remarkable events on the Chinese island of Hainan, and have yet to pay to the Chinese for our the same work that kind of money? They were told, that no longer with us did not want to talk and asked to no longer refer to them, the man who wrote it, declined to reveal their name and phone number, but his email address was registered on the official domain of this site.

But, in general, the administration of the largest Chinese website is not against on our activity, since a few months ago there appeared an article in Russian, which reported, that at the present time the Russian tourists can learn about the many events on Hainan Island in Russian, and had not been reported, where exactly, but since no one else, except HainanWel.com, does not report regularly about events on Hainan Island in the Russian language, learning about them can only appear on HainanWel.com.

This is one of the sample overly "money" attitude to foreign tourists on the island of Hainan, a description of many cases, where foreign tourists purchased products and services with highly inflated prices, can be found online at various websites.

But more surprising to us was, that repeatedly the ordinary people in the cities of Hainan Island, where we do asked about where to find the one or the other point of interest, and told them about our wesite,- this people refused to take even money from us, and free of charge helped us.

Although, in the present time, the focus of tourism development in Hainan Island is on some travel companies, we are no longer just reported, that only reliance on self-organization of tourist resorts on the island of Hainan can to attract to the island of Hainan the millions of foreign tourists: foreign tourists have been able to reach the island of Hainan is cheaper, than other resorts, the hotels must offered European cuisine at reasonable prices, the foreign tourists have seen signs, schedule of buses and trains, and other inscriptions at least in English and Russian languages, so the hotel has staff who know foreign languages ​​or foreigners - is lead to the fact, that foreign tourists will be able to buy everything they need goods and services on their own, without mark-up guides of travel agents.

This will lead to the fact, that everyone on Hainan Island will make a profit, and have no damages, because mathematically advantageous to get a little profit from the many tourists, than to strip a small number of tourists, as often happens in the city of Sanya, where prices for goods and services to foreign tourists exceeds the prices on similar goods and services in the other resorts.

As we have mentioned earlier - just millions of foreign tourists can justify such an unprecedented investments in the infrastructure of Hainan Island and to take all measures necessary, as in 2011, Hainan was a missed opportunity to capture of Egypt share of the tourist market, although such a possibility had the first time in 35 years, though in 2011, have taken the necessary steps that we wrote over a year ago, the amaount of foreign tourists in 2011 on Hainan Island was at least 7 million, but the opportunity was missed.

But other countries did not miss such an opportunity, in 2011, many countries around the world simplified visa regime with Russia, and China has become the only country in the world, where on the contrary, proposed to strengthen the visa regime and which began to consider a bill about fingerprints of all foreigners, including tourists, for entry into China, including on Hainan Island.

Make it so that tourists do not come - it is very easy, but very difficult to attract tourists, and in 2012 it will be harder to make, the Olympics in London and the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine severely reduce the number of Russian and European tourists on future directions and predictions of the Maya in 2012 will cause a real tourist boom in Mexico in 2012 for tourists from the U.S. and Europe.

But having a tremendous infrastructure still leaves Hainan as one of the main contenders for the role of the world's best resort.

The tourist infrastructure of Hainan Island, China is able to turn out from "World workshop" to the "World Resort," which will bring more profit, than the production of household goods, many people in the world must to dream about to come to the island Hainan and spend their money in China! This can be done in reality! Welcome to Hainan Island, China!

Statistics of International Tourism on the Hainan Island, China
Tuesday, 03 January 2012 22:06

http://hainanwel.com/en/hainan-news/133 ... urism.html

We have received a letters from some of our visitors, which stated that, according to Chinese data, in 2011, the Hainan Island has experienced an unprecedented influx of tourists. In this article we are present two practical opposing viewpoints on the popularity of Hainan Islansd among tourists from Russia and foreign tourists. The first point of view presented in the Chinese media. For example, the largest Chinese newspaper "Renmin Ribao" on December 30, 2011, referring to the Tourism Department of Hainan Province, reported: "Among foreign tourists on the island of Hainan very significant proportion are tourists from Russia. In January-November 2011 the Hainan Province visited 709.2 thousand foreign tourists, the number of Russian tourists has exceeded 200 thousand persons, up by 51.9 percent over the same period in 2010. However, the rapid increase in the number of tourists from Europe and America, This year the province of Hainan has already visited 390 thousand of European tourists and 40 thousand of American tourists, respectively, more than 20 percent greater rate in the same period last year". Recall, that the newspaper Renmin Ribao as a source of this information is noted of Tourism Department of Hainan Province, and how much we have investigated of other Chinese media everywhere reported a similar significant increase in the number of Russian and Foreign tourists on the island of Hainan and elsewhere as a source called the Tourism Department of Hainan Province. But, for us all are clear- ahy the largest Russian media, which conducted its own research and the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia has not seen such unprecedented growth in the number of Russian tourists travels to the island of Hainan, China. We've December 31, 2011 reported the results of the study's of largest news agency in Russia- the RIA-Novosti and among these results, Hainan Island did not appear as a priority destination for Russian citizens. Also, in December 2011, one of the most widely read newspapers in Russia - the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published an article, based on data of Federal State Statistics Service of Russia, which reports about the TOP 18 most elected destinations for Russian tourists for recreation (see the image at the top of this article) - and among those TOP 18 and in general in this article of "Komsomolskaya Pravda", the Hainan Island is not even mentioned! Although, according to the Tourism Department of Hainan Province, the increase in the number of Russian tourists was +51.9% and this increase must be seen in Russia, as the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published a list of all the countries, in which the increase in the number of tourists from Russia ranged from +32% to +124%. The situations with tourists from Europe and from United States on Hainan Island are more vaguely though, that according to Tourism Department of Hainan Province "in 2011, Hainan had already visited 390 000 of European and 40 000 of American tourists", but nor in Europe, nor in the U.S. media we could not find any mention of the fact, that a relatively large number of tourists of European tourists (and 390 000 - this is for Europe's relatively high) went in 2011 to Hainan Island and especially in the U.S. press we can find very little mention about the island of Hainan. For example, a large European travel site "Lonely Planet" does not have island of Hainan as the favorites in 2011, and with other similar of European and American media situation is similar. Overall, a very unclear situation with these statistics and we do not know- who's right. Note, that the Chinese media as the main cause of such a large increase in foreign tourists on the island of Hainan is called "favorable visa regime in the province of Hainan." But this is not so- in 2011 the U.S. and countries of Western Europe, UAE, India and others have facilitated visa regime with Russia and the long-term tourist visas for year or several years in these countries can be obtained quickly and inexpensively, so Hainan Island with a few weeks visa-free stay is no longer attractive, such as India given tourist visa for up to 6 months, and on Hainan- only up to 1 month, even the northern provinces of China, the Russian tourists can visit a lot easier, than Hainan Island.

When the Hawaii will call the American Hainan
Monday, 05 March 2012 10:53

http://hainanwel.com/en/hainan-news/158 ... ainan.html

We have suggested many times- on the website and on the forum, that in Sanya City needs to be done, as least in Hong Kong, translate of all the inscriptions in Sanya City in the English language, and even better- in Russian language, it would have greatly increased the number of foreign tourists. But some Departments with a rare tenacity do not want to do it, because they have very good friends in several travel agencies, which often offer their services at inflated prices: they understand, if foreign tourists will see signs in shops, on roads, at stops, on buses, etc. in a familiar language, it is virtually none of the tourists will not use the services of tour guides of travel agencies, therefore, all of our appeals to the Tourism Deparment of Sanya City and Tourism Deparment of Hainan Province - always got absolutely indifferent attitude of the representatives of these departments, such as when we visited the Tourism Deparment of Sanya City and Tourism Deparment of Hainan Province - they so often and persistently offered for us to use the services of tour guides of travel agencies, that we do not understand, where we came- to the office of travel agency or to the State Department of China. Therefore, it is no surprise, that Thailand were visited by millions of Russian tourists and the island of Hainan visited only two hundred thousand, it is if use the official statistics of the Tourism in Hainan Province, which is not supported by Russian departments. A few weeks ago there was a very significant event for the province of Hainan- the president of the United States in one of his speeches reported, that the Chinese citizens in the near future will have much easier entries into the United States and the United States hopes to attract up to 2016 at least of 30 millions Chinese tourists, but it will mean a one- a millions of Chinese tourists will not come to Hainan Island, and will choose as a place of recreation a resorts of USA.- the island of Guam, Hawaii resorts and other resorts in the U.S.! For this reason, we do not understand - why the island of Hainan on the official websites of Hainan Province and Sanya City is called as a "East Hawaii", the representatives of the website HainanWel.com against such names of Hainan Island and the website HainanWel.com- is the only website in the world about the island of Hainan, which did not use the name "East Hawaii" for the island of Hainan, because "East Hawaii" do not advertise the island of Hainan- "East Hawaii" advertises of Hawaii in the United States and the use of the "East Hawaii" is actually recognized of inferiority of the Hainan Island in relation to the famous resort of the U.S., and we are against this, in our opinion, is necessary to make, that Hawaii will call as the American Hainan and Hainan Island has a necessary conditions: wonderful hotels, high-speed railway, the nature of Hainan is much better, then the nature of the Hawaiian Islands, the natives of the island of Hainan much more friendly. Therefore, an urgent are need to change the whole scheme of work with foreign tourists on the island of Hainan, it requires at least open a direct and inexpensive flights from Russia and Europe to the cities of Hainan Island, duplicate of all the major labels in the Russian and English and to prohibit the activities of travel agencies on the island of Hainan, the focus should be on a tourists. What is most surprising, the China's largest airlines reported about additional flights to the resorts of USA, although neither one Chinese airline has not opened a single flight to Russia and Europe from the island of Hainan. Therefore, a lot of foreign press representatives are skeptical of the reliability of statistics of the Tourism Deparment of Sanya City and Tourism Deparment of Hainan Province, for example, one British journalist wrote, that in the 2011 the UK visited 200 000 citizens of Russia, and the same number of citizens of Russia stated in the statistics of the Tourism Deparment of Sanya City and Tourism Deparment of Hainan Province in 2011, but the number of flights from Russian cities to the UK almost in 20 times more (!), than the number of flights from the cities of Russia to the cities of Hainan Island, how did these numbers coincide? We do not know the answer to this question, for this reason our website did not tell an official statistics of tourism in Hainan Province and Sanya City, we report only confirmed information. Taking this opportunity, we appeal to the representatives of the Tourism Deparment of Sanya City and Tourism Deparment of Hainan Province with a request to provide us more detailed information about major events on the island of Hainan, so that we can inform tourists about these events. We are working for free for the development of international tourism on the Hainan Island! Help us to attract foreign tourists to the Hainan Island and Sanya City!

Russian tourists spent in 2011 more than 20 billions of dollars in Europe, but did not on the Hainan Island, China
Friday, 16 March 2012 10:46

http://hainanwel.com/en/hainan-news/162 ... -2011.html

Although the press of Hainan Province regularly reported about record increase in revenues from tourism in the Sanya City and Hainan Island, China and all of these indicators regularly grow just a fantastic rate, which for some reason- were not noticed either by the Russian researchers nor the European explorers of the tourist markets, because we do not report these data on our website- these data are not confirmed in other countries. For example, according to well-known company Global Blue, which is engaged in statistical research on the tourism markets -in 2011 the Russian tourists spent the most money in Europe - about 18 billion euros (over 20 billion dollars USA). The most popular among Russian tourists in 2011 were: Prague, Vienna, London, Paris, Milan, Helsinki, Munich and Berlin- Sanya City and Hainan Island in the study of Global Blue were not mentioned. The Global Blue claims- in 2011 in terms of tax free return the Russia came out on top in the world, beating China, UAE and USA. Thus, based on the results of 2011 year, the Russian tourists have become the most lavish and desirable tourists in the world, so many countries in 2011 and 2012 entered visa-free regime for Russian tourists at least 3 months, but on Hainan in China absolutely nothing changed for Russian tourists, which made the Hainan Island visa regime for Russian tourists as the one of the toughest in the world- even in the northern provinces of China visa regime for Russian tourists are much more favorable, than the visa regime of the island of Hainan. Therefore, a need for the introduction of visa-free travel for Russian tourists to Hainan Island for at least 3 months, if the Hainan Island does not want to lag behind other popular resorts in the world. We consider it necessary to refer to the representatives of the Tourism Department of Sanya City and Tourism Department of Hainan Province, and take a look of this data- U.S. $ 20 billion! This money Russian tourists can brought to the city of Sanya on Hainan Island, but did not in Europe, if in Sanya City will appear a China's citizens, who wanted to create better conditions for Russian tourists, who will open a direct and inexpensive flights, who would have introduced visa-free regime for at least 3 months, who would use the system "All inclusive" in hotels without overpricing for foreign tourists, who will build water parks for children and adults, who will sell a goods in duty-free shops of the city of Sanya are not at prices, that the number of digits are similar to phone numbers and several times higher than prices for similar goods in Hong Kong- then these U.S. $ 20 billion would remain in the city of Sanya. But for this time all this are absent- the Tourism Department of Sanya City and Tourism Department of Hainan Province cooperate exclusively with the travel agencies and in the city of Sanya do not create the conditions for independent travelers, namely- independent travelers in Europe have spent the majority of these 20 billion U.S. dollars in 2011! HainanWel.com- is only website on the Internet, that daily in Russian and English reported travel news of the city of Sanya and Hainan Island for independent travelers. Help us to attract more foreign travelers to the city of Sanya on Hainan Island -then the Chinese representatives of tourism infrastructure of Hainan Island will receive a lot more profit!
