Hainan makes big strides as key gateway for opening-up

Gateway: Hainan vows to further facilitate trade, investment

BEIJING, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ –A report from Chinadaily.com.cn

Hainan will continue to deepen cooperation with sister provinces and cities to establish a gateway for Chinese enterprises to go global
Hainan will continue to deepen cooperation with sister provinces and cities to establish a gateway for Chinese enterprises to go global

Hainan province is on track to achieve independent customs operations by the end of this year, marking a significant step toward establishing the Hainan Free Trade Port as a premier gateway for China’s opening-up in the new era, according to Feng Fei, secretary of the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Speaking with China Daily on the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions, Feng emphasized that the Hainan initiative will drive the country’s opening-up in a broader and deeper way.

Hainan is fully dedicated to ensuring the seamless implementation of independent customs operations as planned,” he said, adding that the final stages of preparation, encompassing tasks, projects and stress tests, are nearing completion.

All 10 ports crucial for transshipping imported goods to the rest of China have passed their national acceptance inspections, he noted.

Feng also said that independent customs operations have the potential to enhance Hainan’s alignment with international high-standard economic and trade regulations, accelerating the creation of an open institutional system with global competitiveness.

In recent years, the island province has made significant progress in establishing a tax policy framework characterized by zero tariffs, low tax rates and simplified tax systems, facilitating the free and convenient movement of trade, investment, cross-border capital, people and vehicles, as well as the secure and orderly flow of data in and out of the free trade port.

For example, the duty-free policy for processing value-added domestic sales has been expanded to the entire island.

Hainan has attracted investment from 158 countries and regions and streamlined financial transactions with 41 countries and regions through multifunctional free trade accounts.

Furthermore, China’s decision to expand the purposes of visa-free entry to Hainan for passport holders of 59 eligible countries, starting in February last year, led to a 115.6 percent year-on-year surge in inbound tourists in 2024.

Yangpu Port in Hainan has registered 52 international vessels, solidifying its position as the country’s second-largest port in terms of tonnage.

The province has also secured approval to become China’s first digital processing trade zone, where activities such as data processing for exports are in progress, and it has launched more than 260 games targeting international players.

Looking ahead, Feng said that Hainan will continue to optimize measures for trade and investment liberalization, promote institutional opening-up and foster a top-notch market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment.

The Hainan Free Trade Port, whose structure is recognized as delivering advanced openness, is also the world’s largest in terms of area and population, boasting more than 10 million residents.

Facing the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the FTP is located at the intersection of the two most dynamic markets, Southeast Asia and the Chinese mainland, Feng said, adding that China’s massive market of 1.4 billion people offers substantial advantages to the development of the FTP.

Hainan has also forged partnerships with 38 domestic and foreign free trade zones and ports as part of its effort to enhance exchanges and collaboration with countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, Feng said.

Notable collaborations include sister port agreements between Yangpu Port and the United Arab Emirates’ Abu Dhabi Ports, cooperation between Haikou Meilan International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport, joint efforts on a green low-carbon international demonstration project by Hainan Holdings and Singapore’s CapitaLand Investment, and the establishment of the China-Europe (Baoting) Green and Digital Innovation Zone in Hainan.

Meanwhile, Hainan is also actively integrating into major national and regional strategies, including a unified national market. It is intensifying its connections with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, advancing in tandem with Guangdong province, promoting the integrated development of Qiongzhou Strait ports and shipping, and propelling the development of the GuangdongHainan advanced manufacturing industrial park.

“In the future, Hainan will continue to deepen cooperation with sister provinces and cities to establish a gateway for Chinese enterprises to go global and achieve higher-level, higher-quality regional coordinated development,” Feng said.

 

Sojourners welcomed to ‘a life called Yunnan’

Yunnan: Province sets year’s target at 6 million sojourners

BEIJING, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Chinadaily.com.cn

"Sojourning in Yunnan" brand famous.
“Sojourning in Yunnan” brand famous.

Wang Ning, a deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress and secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, has invited people to sojourn in Yunnan and experience a beautiful life that “begins with mountains and rivers and returns to the hustle and bustle”.

Sojourners are travelers who stay for over two weeks, according to the provincial government, and in the process, they have better exposure to Yunnan’s lifestyle, traditions and culture.

In the past two years, many people came to Yunnan, not just to visit its scenic areas but also to live in the province for some time and have an in-depth experience of “a life called Yunnan“, Wang said, adding that in 2024 alone, the province received about 4 million sojourners.

Yunnan boasts six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, eight national historical and cultural cities, 777 traditional Chinese villages and 624 national Class-A attractions, and is hugely popular on social media platforms.

Its rich natural resources and diverse ecological wealth have made it a suitable host for the United Nations Biodiversity Conference.

The province is a favored destination among those who love forests, lakes and hot springs, and those who wish to escape the summer heat or the winter cold.

According to Wang, sojourning in Yunnan has changed the lives of many young people.

Sojourners from Beijing, Shanghai and Zhe­jiang province, many of whom are college graduates, have developed creative businesses by livestreaming about Yunnan’s agricultural products, or have opened bookstores and cafes in the province, bringing new vitality to its villages. More villagers now run supermarkets, make express deliveries, and bake bread to boost their incomes.

Tan Lijun and her husband, who came from Guangdong province, visited Tuguachong village in Yunnan earlier this year. They noticed that locally made pottery items are special and particularly popular among their friends back home, so they decided to sell these through livestreaming.

As more sojourners came to Tuguachong, native residents also returned to run restaurants and supermarkets, revitalizing the previously sparsely populated village.

Yannick Benichou, a 40-year-old traveler from France, said he enjoys life in Yunnan particularly because of its pleasant climate.

“It is not too cold in winter, not too hot in summer. There are clear blue skies throughout the year,” he said, adding that after coming to Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, he discovered that he could enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, rock climbing, cycling and mountaineering year-round.

Benichou said he cherishes Yunnan’s diversity in terms of ethnic culture, climate and topography. “From the snowy mountains of Shangri-La to the tropical rainforests of Xishuangbanna, with its lakes, gorges and high mountains, living in Kunming provides easy access to these various sceneries. This diversity is something many people envy,” he said, adding that the low cost of living is a bonus.

The province, which is building its brand “Sojourning in Yunnan“, aims to attract 6 million sojourners this year, according to the local government.

Wang said the province will guide all sectors of society to jointly build more than 3,000 major sojourning villages and develop services in fields such as healthcare, study tour, culture and sports, and elderly care. He emphasized that these measures would increase consumption and promote rural vitalization.

“We will upgrade sightseeing into an in-depth travel experience and construct more scenic spots with competitive advantages,” Wang said, adding that the province will also introduce more ideas and promote various tourism businesses to make the “Sojourning in Yunnan” brand famous.

SINGAPORE, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IndiGo has reached an agreement with travel technology leader Amadeus to implement advanced Revenue Management technology, Amadeus Segment Revenue Management Flex (Amadeus SRM Flex).

This will enable near real-time data exchange capabilities allowing the carrier to immediately respond to market dynamics such as new bookings or equipment changes.

Price setting capabilities within the system can be adjusted to be rule-based, science-based, or a mix of both depending on the carrier’s strategy. Repetitive routines can also be automated in order to optimize operational efficiency and increase revenue opportunities.

Abhijit Dasgupta, SVP – Planning and Revenue Management IndiGo, says, “IndiGo is making great progress on its journey ‘Towards New Heights and across New Frontiers’ to adapt and excel in the evolving aviation industry.

IndiGo will be able to streamline its operations by consolidating interfaces into one, resulting in time optimization and a sharper focus on more sophisticated Revenue Management strategies required for a fast-growing network in a diverse set of markets and passenger segments. Most importantly, it enables IndiGo to merge its own growing data science & machine learning capabilities with the solution, leveraging the strengths of both IndiGo and Amadeus to develop an ecosystem that can cater to IndiGo’s expansion plans and future growth.”

Javier Laforgue, Executive Vice President, Travel Unit & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Amadeus, says, “We are pleased to work with IndiGo to make the most of this technology. Together, we will help maximize the carrier’s revenue opportunities and create new efficiencies so IndiGo can focus on providing great service to its passengers. Amadeus’ Revenue Management technology is open, PSS agnostic, modular, and easy to use. It can also be seamlessly integrated with external solutions that IndiGo currently uses or plans to use. We are confident that this technology will firmly place IndiGo on solid footing for the long term as it looks to grow in India and beyond.”

David P. Evans, Head of Navitaire, added, “We’re thrilled that IndiGo has adopted Amadeus’ Revenue Management technology to drive new opportunities and growth. Navitaire’s open, adaptable and scalable platform enables airlines like IndiGo to connect to their preferred business partners, helping to enhance their Revenue Management capabilities, streamline operations and respond swiftly to market dynamics. We look forward to supporting IndiGo in their growth and expansion efforts.”

Its selection of Amadeus SRM Flex will ensure that it has the right technology in place to support this growth far into the future. Currently, IndiGo features a fleet of over 400 aircraft, with more than 2,200 daily flights, connecting 120+ destinations, of which 38 are international.

This esteemed partnership underscores the school’s dedication to advancing sustainable development and education for a brighter, more sustainable future.

A Global Acknowledgment of Sustainability Efforts

As part of the United Nations’ 80th anniversary and the 10th year celebrations of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), The Grange Institution has been honoured to be featured in a global initiative under the theme “Shaping Our Sustainable Future Through Engineering,” as part of the World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2025. This recognition is a testament to the school’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and environmental advocacy, aligning with UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) goals.

For the past four years, The Grange Institution has been consistently recognised for its outstanding environmental efforts, winning consecutive awards at the Singapore Education Awards for sustainability. Through various projects, such as the “Green Granger” initiative and the “Green Granger Trail”, the school has made significant strides in educating students about climate action, biodiversity, and social responsibility. These hands-on learning experiences foster a sense of stewardship among students, empowering them to be part of the solution to global challenges.

Impactful Initiatives Driving Change

The Grange Institution’s journey in sustainability began in 2020 with the introduction of the “Green Granger” initiative, which saw students actively participating in organic gardening, recycling programmes and awareness campaigns. In 2023, the school expanded its efforts with the launch of the “Green Granger Trail”, a campus-wide environmental project featuring five unique zones showcasing over 100 species of plants and a diverse range of aquatic wildlife. These zones serve as dynamic learning environments, providing students with real-world experiences on the importance of biodiversity.
In addition to its local initiatives, The Grange Institution has also partnered with an eco-tech company through the “Grow with The Grange” initiative. This partnership has seen over 130 trees planted in Sumatra and Zambia, contributing to the rewilding of the planet and fostering a sense of global responsibility among students.

A Future Focused on Global Citizenship

This prestigious recognition through a UNESCO-proclaimed International Day marks a significant milestone in The Grange Institution’s journey, reinforcing the school’s long-term vision to nurture global citizens who are environmentally conscious and socially responsible. The recognition not only validates the school’s ongoing efforts but also opens up new opportunities for collaboration with international organisations that share the same commitment to sustainable education.

As part of its global partnerships, The Grange students are collaborating with TG International School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on a project to tackle water sanitisation in a local village. Using design thinking methods, students from both schools are working together to engineer a solution that addresses the community’s needs. This collaboration supports the theme of World Engineering Day, highlighting the importance of fostering an engineer’s mindset at a young age and proving that it’s never too early for students to begin solving real-world challenges.

“We are truly honoured by this global recognition,” said Soh Bee Ling, Principal of The Grange Institution. “This acknowledgement strengthens our resolve to continue championing sustainability in education and inspires us to create even more impactful learning experiences for our students.”

As The Grange Institution looks to the future, the school remains focused on building meaningful partnerships with like-minded institutions worldwide to further enhance its sustainability programmes and shape the next generation of eco-conscious leaders.
