In a recent announcement, a Hainan official highlighted that the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is looking to collaborate with, not compete against, global free trade hubs like the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Singapore and Dubai 🤝🌏
The official said these established centers serve as role models and key partners for Hainan’s development, offering valuable insights into policies, services and market trends. By learning from their successes, Hainan FTP aims to refine its own strategies and boost its appeal to investors, entrepreneurs and travellers.
Here’s what collaboration could look like:
- Policy Exchanges: Sharing best practices on customs clearance and investment incentives
- Joint Events: Co-hosting trade fairs, cultural festivals and business roadshows
- Connectivity Boost: Strengthening flight routes and digital links for seamless trade and tourism
For young professionals and entrepreneurs, this means fresh opportunities to tap into a vibrant Asian trade network. Students and researchers can look forward to new study and exchange programs, while travellers may enjoy improved services and itineraries 🚀
As Hainan FTP charts its path in 2026, collaboration over competition is its guiding star—building bridges with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Singapore and Dubai to create a truly global free trade ecosystem ✨
