A tourism plan known as "A thousand people visiting Hainan" has been well-received by the people of Macao since its first successful undertaking last June.

The second group of people participating in the scheme, which includes 120 Macao residents, arrived at the Haikou Meilan International Airport on March 19 after a one-hour flight.

The scheme was jointly organized by the Hainan Tropical Travel Service and Macao Worldwide Holidays. Taking advantage of flights from Macao to Haikou leaving three times a week, the group of tourists will spend three days and two nights in Hainan, primarily to experience the local cuisine.

Over 800 Macao people have traveled to Hainan with the tour group.

In order to consolidate the Hong Kong and Macao tourism markets, the "Hainan kitchen", created by the Hainan Commission of Tourism Development, attended the 6th Macao International Travel (Industry) Expo last April, where it attracted a great deal of attention among travel agencies, companies, and locals.

The Hainan Commission of Tourism Development began actively promoting tourism in Macao early in 2015, after some direct flights were introduced. Measures include participating in international travel expos, showcasing Hainan's tourism products, establishing an information consulting center with Macao travel agencies, organizing travel exchanges, and inviting Macao journalists to visit Hainan.
