Image of the Day: Santa comes to Hainan

Our regular feature celebrates important and/or memorable scenes, moments, launches and campaigns from the global aviation and travel retail sphere.

In a year where Hainan’s offshore duty free business has brought a rare ray of light to a travel retail channel cloaked in darkness worldwide, we simply had to choose this joyous picture as our Christmas Day image.

There’s some nice symbolism here too. Hainan has truly been riding a wave of recovery through much of 2020, particularly since the introduction of the enhanced offshore duty free shopping policy on 1 July.

The image is courtesy of Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development’s (Hainan IEDB) tireless Global Media Officer & Supervisor Ruslan Tulenov, who needless to say is (like The Moodie Davitt Report) working on Christmas Day.

Besides its general mission to champion the ambitous Hainan Free Trade Port development project and to attract foreign investors, Hainan IEDB is working particularly hard right now to promote the inaugural China International Consumer Products Expo to be held from 7 to 10 May 2021 on Hainan island.
