HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 September 2025 – The Hainan Free Trade Port Tourism and Culture (Hong Kong) Series Promotion Events will be held from September 7 to 11 at Hong Kong’s K11 Art Mall, marking a new chapter of tropical island tourism in China for visitors from Hong Kong and beyond.

The Hainan Free Trade Port Tourism and Culture (Hong Kong) Series Promotion Events will be held from September 7 to 11 at Hong Kong’s K11 Art Mall.
The Hainan Free Trade Port Tourism and Culture (Hong Kong) Series Promotion Events will be held from September 7 to 11 at Hong Kong’s K11 Art Mall.

With its extensive global flight network, Hong Kong welcomes tens of millions of international tourists annually. Just across the strait, Hainan is also one of China’s most popular tourist destinations. The two regions share geographical proximity, cultural similarities, and close business ties, creating a strong foundation and vast potential for collaboration.

In recent years, tourism and cultural exchanges between Hainan and Hong Kong have flourished. A growing number of residents and tourists frequently travel between the two destinations, fostering mutual learning and cooperation in the tourism sector. In April, tourism associations from both sides signed a strategic agreement to jointly develop “one-trip, multiple-stops” itineraries, offering differentiated and complementary high-end tourism experiences that greatly enrich trips for international visitors.

Leveraging Hong Kong’s role as a “super connector,” Hainan has increased flight frequency between Hong Kong and Haikou/Sanya, enabling seamless travel from the “Pearl of the Orient” to “Sunshine Hainan” and creating a “one-hour tourism circle” for global travelers. According to the latest data from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Hainan Province, from January to July, over 85,000 tourists entered Hainan from Hong Kong, a year-on-year increase of 28.8%.

The upcoming promotion event will showcase Hainan’s cultural and tourism features through diverse formats such as “imaging + intangible heritage + food + performances.” Over 80 finely curated photographs will display the authentic, dynamic, and vibrant essence of Hainan, while nearly 200 exhibits will highlight world-class, national, and provincial intangible cultural heritage items including Li brocade, coconut carvings, Miao embroidery, and bamboo weaving. More than 10 interactive activities and performances, such as martial arts demonstrations, folk singing and dancing, and artistic nail art, will emphasize the innovative reinterpretation of Hainan’s traditional culture.

Furthermore, Hainan’s visa-free policy for citizens from 86 countries, 144-hour visa-free entry for foreign tour groups from Hong Kong and Macao, and 240-hour transit visa exemption provide favorable conditions and broad possibilities for future cooperation across various fields. Wang Yuechuan, Director of the International and Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Market Promotion Office of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Hainan Province, stated: “We are actively collaborating with major Hong Kong enterprises to develop international performances, art exhibitions, cultural tourism, and broadcasting and film projects. Additionally, we are promoting exchanges in more than nine sports events including martial arts, dragon boat racing, and golf.”

BiUH has signed strategic cooperation agreements with 10 well-known Chinese and foreign enterprises, including Weidmüller, ZF, TRUMPF (China), and China Mobile Hainan Branch, so that students can embrace career opportunities around the world.

“Our philosophy is ‘doing by learning, learning by doing,’ which not only creates connection between academia and industry but also allows education, talent training, and industrial development to be well integrated in Hainan.” Judith Peltz expressed that BiUH will leverage the high-quality educational resources of China and Germany to become a top-tier application-oriented university in the Asia-Pacific region or even in the world.

In fact, Hainan is building momentum in the “Study in Hainan” campaign, cultivating an international exchange gateway facing the Pacific and Indian Oceans, providing a new platform for cooperation with the “Belt and Road” countries, and playing an increasingly important role in China’s education opening up.

BGY Fruits’s Global Supply Chain Strategy: Advancing B2B Operations at Home and Abroad, and Actively Building Category Brand Subsidiaries


SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 September 2025 – On September 3, ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA opened at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. BGY Fruits, China’s leading fruit retail chain, participated alongside its subsidiary Jin Chengtai, continuing its annual presence at the event. Through consistent participation, BGY Fruits showcases its strengths in supply chain integration and brand development to global partners and potential clients—further advancing its strategy of “sourcing globally, selling globally.”

Since beginning its overseas fruit sourcing in 2012, BGY Fruits has established direct procurement partnerships with over 800 premium fruit farms across 26 countries, covering nearly 1,000 fruit varieties. This extensive global sourcing has significantly enriched the domestic fruit supply and effectively filled seasonal gaps in the local market.

In recent years, the fruit supply landscape has undergone significant structural adjustments. Domestic alternatives to imported fruits—such as blueberries, durians, and passion fruits—have become increasingly prominent. At the same time, recognition of Chinese-grown fruits in international markets continues to rise, driving ongoing optimization in import and export structures.

In response to these market trends, BGY Fruits established its International Export Division to promote high-quality fruits sourced from both domestic and international origins to overseas markets, expanding and strengthening its B2B export operations. Signature products such as Liangzhi apples, Naihuang apricots, and the company’s exclusive variety of fresh purple passion fruit (Jindu No. 3) have already been introduced and are selling well in several Southeast Asian countries.

BGY Fruits’s subsidiary, Haiyang Jin Chengtai, has consistently exported premium Chinese fruits—including apples, pears, and citrus—to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and North America, allowing global consumers to enjoy the best of China’s fruit harvests. According to a company representative, Jin Chengtai’s export sales reached nearly RMB 300 million in 2024.

Zhu Qidong, Executive Vice President of BGY Fruits Group, Chief Supply Chain Officer, President of the B2B and International Business Division, and President of the Category Brand Division, revealed that the domestic B2B business has been a key strategic focus for BGY Fruits in 2024. Leveraging its core strength in high-quality fruit supply chain management, the company has significantly expanded into supermarkets, emerging retail channels, and large-scale distribution markets.

In addition, BGY Fruits has collaborated with leading domestic enterprises, provincial-level trade unions, and key strategic partners to jointly develop innovative fruit products and diversify its category offerings. The company has also engaged in fruit contract processing services for fresh food enterprises and launched digital fruit gift cards for online distribution.

These initiatives have driven strong growth in BGY Fruits’s domestic B2B segment. From January to July alone, wholesale business sales reached RMB 522 million.

Brand development is essential to the long-term growth of the fruit industry. In addition to building a competitive retail brand, BGY Fruits is actively advancing its category brand strategy. At the exhibition, Zhu Qidong noted that BGY Fruits has established a dedicated Category Brand Division to lead this effort. By taking an organized and systematic approach, the company aims to integrate resources across the value chain and ensure the effective execution of its category branding strategy.

Currently, BGY Fruits is leveraging its ecosystem partnerships to establish specialized companies focused on specific fruit categories, including apples, watermelons, and pineapples. In the future, this model will be replicated to build category-brand companies for imported fruits as well.
