Regular cruises to be launched to Nansha Islands

Regular cruise trips to the Nansha Islands will start operating before 2020, according to a document released by the government in Hainan province.

Hainan will launch major cruises of international standard to meet increasing demand and operate regular trips to the islands, according to a proposal put forward by the provincial authority this month.

It will also launch South China Sea trips with multiple stops, according to the proposal, which is aimed at promoting the tourism industry in Hainan. The province also aims to optimize cruise routes heading to the Xisha Islands.
