Fujian Plans To Build Dongshan Island Into An International Tourism Area

Fujian plans to build Dongshan Island into an international tourism island.

To fulfill this development goal established in November 2007, Dongshan county has attracted a series of large tourism investment projects. At present, these are a forum project with a planned investment of CNY2.5 billion, a coastal hot spring with an investment of CNY500 million, and an international resort area with an investment of CNY3 billion.

Four more hotel projects, including two built to five-star standard and another two to four-star standards, are expected to start construction by the second half of this year.

In addition, Dongshan has formed a series of boutique tour itineraries such as the Seaside Tour and the Taiwan Tour, both of which are listed in the top ten itineraries in Fujian; the "Straits Forum" project has also became one of ten major tourism projects in Fujian's eleventh five year plan.
