In celebration of the new duty free tax policy that visitors to Hainan Island can benefit from, Mandarin Oriental, Sanya has now made a visit even more attractive with their Spend & Save promotion. Along with huge tax rebates from the China Duty Free Store, the resort invites guests to double their savings with a complimentary credit of CNY1,500 (USD231.5) to spend at their restaurants and bars or award-winning spa.
The island’s new duty free policy was launched on 20 April 2011 and applies to both international tourists as well as those from mainland China. Customers shopping at the Sanya Duty Free Store can enjoy savings of up to 30 percent on luxury goods priced below CNY5,000 (USD771.6). China is expected to become the world’s largest luxury goods market by 2014, and because of these new regulations, Hainan, which already boasts sun, sea and sand, will be a new hub for luxury shopping.
The China Duty Free Store is only a 10-minute drive from Mandarin Oriental, Sanya, and guests staying at the resort during this promotion period can enjoy a complimentary shuttle service to and from the store at designated times during the day.
