off its first global roadshow to promote the 2017 Sanya celebration
(the "Celebration") with a series of events in Bangkok, Thailand.
"Known to the world with stunning white beaches and blue waters,
Sanya has been named one of 52 Places to Go in 2017 by the
New York Times. It is also the first
time a Chinese city in the list.". Said Deng Zhong, the Honorary President of
Sanya People's Association for
Friendship with Foreign Countries, during his welcoming speech.

With years of steady development, nearly 17 leading global hotel
groups have invested in Sanya to build almost 47 hotels. Sanya is
going through a transformative period that is key to become an
international city to attract travelers around the world."
The roadshow is divided into different sections including
exhibition, interaction, performance, photo galleries and Virtual
Reality (VR) games and more. In the exhibit area, participants are
able to experience the local culture of Sanya with an artificial
beach building based on the real one there and taste the Hainai
cuisine. Hainan's local minority group, Li Nationality, brings
their cultural shows and introduces the traditional knitting skills

of things in common in terms of natural resources, culture and many
other areas. I believe that an increasing number of Thai travelers
will make Sanya as a primary destination in the future. "said Mr.
Luo Taidong, the Head of East Asian Market Development Team of
