China is gearing up to transform its southernmost province of Hainan into the world's largest free-trade port by 2025, and the impact on employment is already being felt! 🌟
The Hainan Free Trade Port has become a catalyst for regional cooperation and job creation, thanks to its favorable policies and business incentives. Lara Netherlands, Asia Pacific content strategist at The Moodie Davitt Report, shared insights with CGTN in 2023 about how duty-free operations in Hainan are opening doors for employment opportunities.
Key factors driving this employment surge include:
- Visa-Free Agreements: Simplifying travel for business professionals, attracting talent, and fostering international collaborations.
- Offshore Duty-Free Industry: Encouraging businesses to set up operations, creating a variety of jobs in retail, logistics, and management.
- Medical Tourism: Developing healthcare services that not only cater to tourists but also generate jobs in medical facilities and support services.
