Sanya has become one of the hottest destinations in China. According to the Sanya Bureau of Statistics, more than 18 million travelers flocked to the city in 2017 – a 11 percent growth year on year. Sanya is expected to become even more popular with the newly announced visa-free entry to tourists, duty-free shopping and medical services that are designed to help transform Hainan into an international tourism destination.
“Sanya has always been the hottest destination in China and one of the most important markets for IHG,” said Jolyon Bulley, Chief Executive Officer of IHG Greater China. “I believe with more favorable government policies, Sanya and Hainan will be even hotter. This is the opportunity that we all would like to explore and be part of for the long-term benefit of this hotel and for IHG as a whole.”
“We now have nine hotels open and another three in the development pipeline in Sanya, across almost all brands. The new hotel is a wonderful addition to our portfolio, consolidating our confidence and commitment in the development in Sanya and Hainan,” Bulley said.
The new hotel is the newest member of the Crowne Plaza family which has 86 hotels open and another 38 in the development pipeline in Greater China.
This year also marks the 35th anniversary for Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts globally. Over the past two years, a brand transformation plan is underway to bring the ‘New Age of Crowne Plaza.’ As part of the plan, the new ‘WorkLife’ mockup room was unveiled in May, following the new design launch in 2017. The first hotel with the ‘WorkLife’ design is expected to open next year.
