The launch ceremony of the Global Consumption Event Series jointly organized by the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development and China Duty Free Group took place in Haikou, Hainan province, on Saturday, marking the kickoff of the fourth China International Consumer Products Expo under the theme of "Share open opportunities, Co-create a better life".
Chen Yin, chairman of China Tourism Group, said the global tourism market is showing clear signs of recovery, and the development prospects for the tourism retail industry are bright.
In terms of the Chinese market, Chen said the recovery of tourism consumption is also accelerating, and tourism retail holds long-term growth potential. The duty-free market in Hainan is vibrant, and Hainan's role as an international tourism and consumption center continues to be consolidated.
He emphasized that China Tourism Group and its subsidiary, China Duty Free Group are taking the lead in demonstrating honest operations and quality service in accordance with the principle of "doing business in good faith and providing quality services" in Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex.
They are also promoting the comprehensive development of the duty-free industry chain in Hainan, and providing strong support for the construction of the Hainan international tourism and consumption center and free trade port. In the future, with the joint efforts of an effective market and proactive government, the demand for tourism will be further released as tourism is an essential need for people to pursue a better life. The role of consumption in driving economic growth will become more prominent, Chen said.
This expo has brought together global consumer products, introduced more high-quality domestic and international goods and services that meet the needs of people for a better life and lead the trend of consumption upgrading. It is providing a global platform for showcasing and trading premium consumer products, Chen said. China Tourism Group and China Duty Free Group are participating in the event and demonstrating their position and innovative strength in the global tourism retail market.
The China Duty Free Group's booth is located at Booth 02 in Hall 5 of the main exhibition hall, covering an area of 600 square meters. With a simple and stylish design featuring a 360-degree dome structure and professional high-definition equipment, the hall is creating an immersive exhibition experience. The booth showcases a wide range of international consumer products including beauty and cosmetics, imported and domestic wines and spirits, food and groceries, electronic products, luxury accessories as well as watches and jewelry, presenting new trends in consumption.
This expo has three sub-venues. As part of the duty-free shopping sub-venue, Haikou International Duty-Free Shopping Complex has set up a new consumption scenario exhibition area that is open to all. In addition, China Duty Free Group launched a series of themed marketing activities, with its various stores in Hainan introducing diverse activities.

In the future, with the support of its parent company — China Tourism Group, China Duty Free Group will take advantage of the series' events and the year of consumption promotion and use the entire tourism industry chain to implement the development strategy of deep cultivation in Hainan. Such efforts will better serve the new development layout and promote global consumption innovation.
