海南將推進國際旅游消費中心建設

Offshore duty-free sales in China's southern island province of Hainan are expected to double in 2021 for the second year in a row, as fine-tuned favorable policies continue to draw more consumers, an official said Monday. The island's offshore duty-free sales are likely to exceed 60 billion yuan in 2021, up from 30 billion yuan last year, which had doubled from 15 billion yuan in 2019, Shen Xiaoming, Party chief of Hainan, said at a press conference.

海南省委書記沈曉明在4月12日的國新辦新聞發(fā)布會上表示，海南離島免稅銷售額今年有望突破600億元。他說：“我們適時調整了離島免稅政策，吸引境外消費回流。去年在前年150億的基礎上翻了一番，做到300億，今年預計能夠超過600億。”

Hainan has vowed to build itself into an international tourism consumption center.

The province has increased the annual tax-free shopping quota per person from 30,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan starting from July 1, 2020.

自2020年7月1日開始，海南離島免稅購物額度從每人每年3萬元提高至10萬元。

The categories of duty-free goods have also been expanded from 38 to 45, with electronic products such as mobile phones and laptops added to the duty-free list.

免稅商品類別從38種擴大到45種，手機和筆記本電腦等電子產(chǎn)品也加入了免稅商品名單。
