Sanya Set to Woo German Tourists

With severed relations with the United States, China has to find new markets. The Sanya tourism development commission and Tui group recently held promotional events in Frankfurt and Munich, Germany, to promote Sanya’s tourism products to German travel agencies.

Representatives from the Frankfurt and Munich tourism offices, the delegation from Sanya of Hainan and more than 100 German tourism industry executives attended two events in which German journalist Hilke Maunder lingered to share the story of her two stay in Sanya, one in 1988, the other 30 years later, in 2018.

The collection, titled ‘amazing changes in 30 years,’ is aimed at stimulating interest in Sanya’s tourism market among German travel agents.

Maunder talked about the changes that she observed between the two trips, showing several collections of photos she took when she traveled to Sanya in 1988 and 2018, among them, “Comparison of the Big Four Bay Areas, Then and Now”, “Small Fishing Boats Under Sanya Bridge Are Replaced by Luxury Yachts”, and “Atlantis Sanya Is One of the Only Two Atlantis Hotels in the World”.

Sanya is famous for its pristine beaches, tropical coastal scenery and cultural charms of the Li and Miao ethnic minorities. Here is a visual story. CEO of TUI China Dr. Guido Brettschneider, introduced Sanya’s tourism products designed for the German market and shared general information about the region and the tours available.
