The Hainan port regulator issued a statement on June 30, noting that Hainan will set up eight "characteristic and correlated yacht towns" by the end of 2025.
It also noted that the income of Hainan's yacht tourism sector should account for more than 10% of the province's overall tourism income by that time.
Hainan is actually not the first to propose the idea of yacht towns.
