Qian Jiannong, Chairman and CEO of Fosun Tourism, said: “Chinese tourism sector is recovering very fast after the epidemic. At the end of March, various shops in Atlantis Sanya had reopened, with the number of admissions reaching almost 2,500 on the Aquaventure Waterpark’s reopening day. With a series of promotions, our hotel occupancy rate has been on the rise, particularly during this year’s May Day holiday, when the occupancy rate averaged 84% and peaked at 94%. On 1^st May, our waterpark’s admission numbers reached over 3,000. As summer holiday approaches, Fosun Tourism has been focusing on improving its products to meet the holiday travel demand. We saw revenue recovery in June and expect growing income in the coming summer holiday, when our evening events resumes, along with a variety of colourful activities.”

“After considering the summer holiday demand and our product characteristics, we especially thought up evening events at our waterpark, where there would be a series of interesting activities to allow guests to enjoy the 34 exhilarating water slides, as well as experiencing the most liked “Floating Duck”, water curtain show, spectacular fireworks and other brilliant performances,” said Managing Director of Atlantis Sanya, Heiko Michael Schreiner.

As China’s first domestic year-round waterpark, Aquaventure Waterpark has been continuously improving. While constantly upgrading and optimising its products and services, Atlantis Sanya has been banking on its products to expand both vertically and horizontally and taking advantage of its unique creativity by launching a series of themed events, such as Summer Holiday with Atlantis Sanya, which offer guests and customers unique immersive travel experiences.

Hainan is a significant location in Fosun Tourism’s tourism business layout. Up until now, Fosun Tourism has opened the all-inclusive French holiday resort Club Med and one-stop entertainment venue and comprehensive tourist destination Atlantis Sanya in Sanya.

As Fosun Tourism’s first holiday destination project, Atlantis Sanya is a 3.0 benchmark in Hainan’s tourism industry and has been receiving wide attention since its opening in April 2018.
