China’s Hainan province opens two more duty free stores

THE WHAT? China’s island province of Hainan has opened two new duty free stores, taking the total number in the province to nine.

THE DETAILS Launched in Haikou, the Global Premium Duty Free Plaza is situated in a shopping mall and offers cosmetics and perfumes, amongst other items, while the second store sells just under 500 international brands.
