2012-05-19
(18 May 2012 - Haikou, China ) "To better serve its
'green rise' and the project of International Travelling
Island, Fosun's going to increase the investment in
Hainan", said Guo Guangchang, the chairman of Fosun Group,
on today's CIFIC of China's outstanding non-state-owned
companies. During the interview for Guo and
other prominent entrepreneurs of China, Luo Baoming, the
party secretary for Hainan province declared that the
provincial government would like to support more
outstanding non-state-owned companies to participate in
this province's "scientific development" and "green rise"
strategies.
"Changing with each passing day" were the five
words which Guo used to describe the transforming of
Hainan, "When I first came here in Hainan, 1988, there was
only one traffic light in Haikou city. But today, this
place has become a world-famous island tourist
destination". Guo said that Fosun had invested
in industries including Mining, IT, Pharma, etc. "We will
launch new investments around the project of Hainan
International Travelling Island in the near future".
Guo also said that nowadays Hainan's tourism
sector has developed to a sizable scale. However it's also
in a structural adjustment phase from the quantitative to
qualitative changes. As for hotel industry, while there is
an abundance of hotels targeted to business travellers in
Hainan industry, distinctive resorts, especially those with
international awareness still face the issue of structural
adjustment. It can add international tourists enormously if
we introduce some distinctive resorts which have
international reputation. This would be of great value for
propelling Hainan's tourist structure and balancing the
tourism consumption between pick season and off season.
