Last November, relying on its professional translation team, extensive industry experience and outstanding service reputation, TalkingChina successfully won the bid and officially became the translation service provider for CDF Hainan Operation Headquarters for 2025–2026.
With the rapid development of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the upcoming customs closure operation, the inbound tourism market in Hainan continues to boom.Last November, the new Hainan offshore duty-free policy was officially implemented, extending the offshore duty-free scheme to foreign visitors for the first time.The value of duty-free goods purchased by offshore and outbound travelers is counted toward their annual RMB 100,000 duty-free shopping quota, with no limit on the number of purchases.
In the first week of the new policy, Hainan’s offshore duty-free sales reached 506 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.86%, accompanied by a significant rise in the number of foreign tourists entering Hainan to shop.
Among inbound visitors, the majority come from Russian-speaking countries, including Russia and Kazakhstan, resulting in particularly strong demand for Russian-language services.
To further enhance the external written service standards of its stores and better provide foreign tourists with services including policy interpretation, shopping guidance, event announcements, and wayfinding assistance, China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation (Hainan) Operation Headquarters Co., Ltd. launched the 2025–2026 annual framework procurement project for translation services.
