Recently, the 5th Hainan International Film Festival concluded in Sanya, 
Hainan, attracting guests from home and abroad as well as tourists to gather in 
Sanya, driving the popularity of the city continue to rise.

"Our hotel room occupancy reached 90% in November, and in December, as a number 
of large-scale events such as the Hainan International Film Festival opened, 
the room occupancy averaged 96.8% from 1st December to 18th December, and 
weekends are basically full," Cai Liwei, marketing and sales director of 
InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay Resort said.

In recent years, Sanya has actively developed "culture +", "eco +", "intangible 
cultural heritage +", "rural +" and many other new forms of business, and has 
launched a great variety of tourism consumer products such as gourmet food, 
wedding, ecology, countryside, recreation and health, study, and sports. It has 
organised all kinds of cultural and tourism competition events and activities, 
effectively activating the vitality of the cultural tourism consumer market. In 
2023, Sanya's tourism and accommodation facilities are expected to receive more 
than 25 million overnight tourists, with a total overnight tourism revenue of 
89.34 billion yuan, an increase of 7.48% and 47.83% respectively compared with 
that of 2019.

Damao Yuanyang Eco Village is a local must-visit destination that has gained 
huge popularity on the Internet. It offers a wide range of activities such as 
jungle adventure, RV camping, greenway cycling, and orchard picking. As the 
village creates its rural tourism brand and innovating on "agriculture +" 
tourism, education, sports and more, the multi-industry integration has boosted 
the income increase of local farmers.

According to the Publicity Department of Sanya Municipal Party Committee, the 
next step, Sanya City will continue to focus on fashion consumption, cruises 
and yachts, cultural relics and arts, digital culture, etc., and constantly 
innovate consumption scenes, accelerate the construction of "tourism +
