Looking opportunities for cooperation, more than 50 tourism operators from Astralia have investigated the tourism resources of Hainan.

From July 2010, there are three intercontinental travel itineraries linking Hainan and Australia being open: Australia to Vietnam and Hainan, Australia to Hong Kong and Hainan, and Australia to Taipei and Hainan. Australian travel agencies will work with Hainan Airlines to introduce the new tour itineraries to Australian tourists. According to the prediction, the new itineraries will bring at least 10,000 tourists to Hainan each year.

Hainan and Australia have been cooperating on tourism for a long time, and especially Hainan’s golf holiday products which are quite popular with Australian tourists. Compared with the traditional mass tourism destinations from Australia, such as Thailand and Vietnam, Hainan has advantage on price. In addition, the high and low seasons for Australia and Hainan complement each other, offering the two parties great potential for cooperation.
