Discounts are coming! Sanya citizens are travelling at the right time to welcome the 12th National Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Games.

Sanya, this beautiful coastal city, is about to welcome a feast of sports and culture. The 12th National Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Games of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as "the 12th National Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Games"), hosted by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and the State General Administration of Sports, and organized by the People's Government of Hainan Province and the People's Government of Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, will be held in Sanya City, Hainan, from November 22 to 30, 2024. To coincide with this grand event, the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports has joined hands with several cities and counties in the province to launch a series of tourism promotion activities, covering hotels, scenic spots, and special tourism routes, with a total of 82 specific activities. The aim is to alleviate urban traffic and travel pressure in Sanya city, promote exchanges and integration among different ethnic groups, and provide a rich tourism experience for participating coaches, athletes, and citizens and tourists.

Hotel promotion activities are diverse and abundant.

During the sports event, many hotels in Haikou, Sanya, Qionghai, Chengmai, Tunchang, Changjiang, Qiongzhong, Ledong, and other places have launched room and dining promotions targeting Sanya citizens. For example, Haikou Baohua Seaview Hotel offers discounted room rates with a complimentary breakfast; Sanya Poly Rosewood Hotel provides a special package for luxury sea-view rooms, including a variety of value-added services. In addition, several hotels such as Orange Sanya Phoenix Airport Hotel and Hanting Sanya Bay Hotel are participating in this promotional activity, with discounts, free breakfasts, late check-outs, and more. Citizens only need to present valid documents such as a Sanya ID card, social security card, or driver's license to enjoy these benefits.

Attraction ticket discounts are substantial

Many popular attractions within the province are also offering ticket discounts to Sanya citizens, with discounts ranging from free admission to half price. For example, the China Leiqiong Haikou Volcano Cluster World Geopark and the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Botanical Garden both offer ticket discounts for Sanya citizens. Some attractions have also launched additional promotional activities, such as the Wuzhi Mountain Hongxia Gully Cultural Tourism Area offering discounts on various entertainment projects. In addition, several other attractions, including the Hainan Baishiling Tourism Area and the Danzhou Dongpo Cultural Tourism Area, are participating in this promotional activity, allowing citizens to enjoy natural beauty while saving on travel expenses.

Featured Tourist Routes Recommendation

To meet the diverse travel needs of citizens, three featured tourist routes have been launched, namely "Exploring Danzhou Haihua Island," "Meeting Wenchang · Exploring Space," and "Wuzhishan Hongxia Gorge Rafting Tour." These routes combine elements of island vacations, cultural exploration, and natural scenery, providing citizens with a wealth of travel options. For instance, the "Exploring Danzhou Haihua Island" route not only allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Haihua Island but also to experience a helicopter ride and immerse in the cultural heritage of Dongpo Academy.

Consumption vouchers boost tourism spending.

In addition to the above tourism promotion activities, cities such as Haikou and Sanya will collaborate with various offshore duty-free operators to launch exclusive preferential activities for participants in the sports event and distribute offshore duty-free consumption vouchers, offering more shopping discounts for citizens and tourists.

The launch of this tourism promotion not only provides tangible benefits to the citizens of Sanya but also contributes to the prosperity of Hainan's tourism market and the unity of ethnic groups. As the sports event approaches, let's all look forward to this feast of sports and culture together!
