China’s Largest Tourist Hainan Island Doomed!December Sees Drastic Tourist Drop to Below 10% Of Past
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2023
- Sanya and Hainan Island, as some of China's few tropical seaside tourist destinations, naturally attract the country's 1.4 billion population, representing a huge development opportunity. However, the Chinese Communist Party's management of Hainan's development has been marked by numerous oversights, extensive management, and a lack of refined strategies. This has led to Sanya facing exorbitant hotel room fees, rampant fraud in the market, and dying corals in the sea. The savings accumulated over three years of the pandemic dissipate within ten days. Large tourism investment projects have not provided advancement opportunities for local residents.

This is what you get...Treat tourists like a money-making machine, no one will return.
Egypt is entering the chat.
Also, if you are going to China for “authentic” whiskey, there is something wrong with you…
Might as well go to japan, you can go to their suntory factories and get their whisky for factory price 😅
China has been part of Scotland since ancient times, didn't😂 you know.
Scotland falls within the 4,800 dash line now, so yeah.
@@lawz7787Japan is some of the best whiskey makers. Their craftsman have high standards and discipline.
But if you really want authentic fake whiskey., then China is the number one place to go. 🤣
When Chinese locals felt the scams that foreigners feel everytime when visiting overseas.
LOL Why should foreign tourist go to a big prison country besides those tourist traps 🤣 😂😂
You mind is in a western prison!
@@user-if1vh8po2fHow did this wumao get out of the CCP firewall?
Funny at least our banks don't steal our money or our Restaurants feed us gutter oil food😂
@@user-if1vh8po2fAnd my government does not as of now steal my live savings
Because China beauty is really unmatched as seen on most videos on UA-cam.
You can only scam people for so long till the influencers with the big following makes enough noise for their followers not to come.
While everyone else who usually wants to avoid confrontation will just quietly leave, ignore, and not saying anything and not return.
While the vendors sit there wondering why no one is coming never thinking for a second that maybe it was their own fault and greed that caused all this.
KARMA!!!!
I don’t know why the Chinese complain , this is everywhere the practice in china
True lol, but its pathetically atrocious especially in tourist spots
Its not. I paid same as locals. I even did scuba in Sanya and it was so cheap.
Yes the price gouging in Sanya is truly horrific. I remember being quoted 10,000 kuai per night for a hotel room back in 2015 during 春节. Absolutely ridiculous and I vowed never to go there. The place has shot itself in the foot and if it is now suffering then it has learned from the maxim "payback is a 婊子"!
All of these insane yelling chinese people, like someone who has been deeply wounded emotionally is disturbing.
Its like someone's whos deep trust has been broken.
I'm beginning to feel China is a big hive of chaos barely kept under control.
The millions who lost their life savings buying real estate must be losing their minds.
As more become disillusioned in their government, which controls everything, its scary to think what might happen
Its been that way since the national party lost and got kicked to taiwan. This is how dictatorships keep a firm grip on the people. Chaos gives power to a bad government because the people will never be able to come together to stop it. Meanwhile, stability takes away power from a bad government.
I was scammed a few yuan here and there in Sanya, but nothing major and I was expecting this. Since my visit back in 2005, I've seen videos of Hainan beaches ankle-deep in rubbish from filthy Chinese tourists who don't take their crap home with them and there don't seem to be any beach cleaners. Most of my Chinese friends can't stand the place and complain that they'll never go there again. The commentator was right to point out how Southeast Asia is a more 'pleasant and affordable option.' I returned from Hainan with an ear infection from the hotel pool.
yes but the chinese tourist spoil everywhere they go. They have flood SEA and are rude disgusting tourist. they pack buffett lines and throw food and plates on the floor, cut lines, scream yell children urinate and defecate in shopping malls.
Damn
This September,2023 I drove 2700km back forth to Hainan, with two ferry trips. I cannot confirm the waste issue. No beach had piles of trash. But Chinese in general don’t pickup their,trash. Very disturbing.
If I crap in Sanya, I don't take it home with me. How on earth did swimming pool water get that deep into your ear canal? You should let the IDF know about this as they are struggling to get sea water into Hamas tunnels, some of which are two metres wide. 🙄
@nivek5031 ear, nose and throat infections are a fairly common occurrence from swimming in pools which are not cleaned on a regular basis. so, I guess I chose the wrong pool.
Sanya, and Hainan in general, was nice years ago. Now it's an overpriced dump. DON'T GO!
in most areas it is slightly higher priced, and it's beautiful, and the dozen of beaches i visited there were pretty clean. the people were great. don't believe the bs of these videos, they are paid to trash talk China.
"You can shave a sheep many times but skin it only once". Always treat your customers with respect and nurture repeat business / word of mouth. Business 101.
You are smart as Sun Tzu. 🐑
Yeah china isn't a place known for that. It's pretty much a giant scam of a country.
That is not how Chinese people think .
"Money is God" is the culture, they only care about short terms gains.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you!!
You don't have to be a prophet to know where wholesale corruption leads ...especially when it is practiced at every level.
Wow! You spot it on!
State cronyism breeds this filth
Wealthy Chinese should go somewhere where they won't get ripped off, like Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan.
As for foreign tourists, why would they ever want to visit Hainan?
Japanese can't stand Chinese tourists. So rude.
I see a lot of them in Korea nowadays
Moderately wealthy Chinese tourists are hated all over the world btw.
@@rickrollrizal2747yup, they don't make an effort to learn local cultures and take their backward cultural practices with them.
*NOT AFTER 2023, THAT'S FOR SURE!!*
*THEY ARE TAUGHT AT AN EARLY AGE TO HAVE NO MORALS, INTEGRITY OR HONOR...OR PEOPLE WILL MANIPULATE THEM!!!*
*(JUST THE OPPOSITE!)*
Society can not function properly is no one can be trusted to tell the truth.
Values, ethics, honesty and empathy are all necessary.
Social media will kill business on this island.
@kha58 That's if the regime and the PLN don't beat them to it.
Either way, visa free or nay, the joint is stuffed for the foreseeable future if the (1.4 billion 😂) mainlanders know about it.
Truth should prevail
For sure it's not the people on the island, the scammers and the cheats that are doing the killing.
I recently ordered a hammock off Amazon for my business and it was a whole foot shorter than advertised in length and 8" in width. I avoid anything made in China as much as possible. Capitalism is when both sides get a fair deal, Not when one side gets scammed.
China: **scams locals and foreigners**
Also China: "Why no one comes??"
Shooting themselves in the foot. You lose out through your own greed. Some people never learn.
China: “We have the worst tourist spots and prices”
Also China: “We have the worst tourists as well 😊”
I was there a few times. They sell crappy food because they don’t care. Waiting for the next tourist to sell them crappy food.
The first guy broke down over getting repeatedly scammed is now my spirit animal
He seemed rather over dramatic, China is the land of fakery and rip offs.
The absurd theatrics was definitely entertaining.
Cry harder... Your tears are delicious
Right. Idk y his chaotic energy was so entertaining but it was😂
call influencers what will but you cant deny that they contribute to exposing tourist scams like this.
This isn't going to help, they're in a debt spiral.
The less spend, the lower the business income, the higher the prices, the lesser the pay, the less spend, the lower the business income, the higher the prices, the lesser the pay, etc.
Yeah not looking good at all.
So when tourism is in trouble, those involved in the industry seek to regain their loses by cheating their customers? Solid financial planning. Mind you, many of the tourist don't know how to behave properly either. Of my six years living across China I wholeheartedly agree that tourist should seek out the people, culture, food and beauty of the S, SW and SE provinces where you will be treated better and where your money will go further.
Pakistan friendship proved to be a bad omen for China😜
Dang, imagine paying US prices for food in China. That's a crazy price hike.
Oh. I was staying at Hilton with Jacuzzi indoor. Was looking forward to go the beach. I ran towards & saw how unhygienic & black beach it was. I made a U-turn. Morning breakfast was a ‘war zone’ with those high vocal Aunties yelling, pushing. It was like poverty stricken restaurant Province. Coconut sweets is selling everywhere- all of Haikou. Mineral Water is salty. Alamak.
the widespread corruption and general cheating makes me wonder why any Chinese person is surprised. I bet many of those complaining about being ripped off here are in fact ripping someone off back in their home town
The whole town or city acting like bandits lol... insanity
People do not like getting scammed or nickel and dime'd. Shocking, i know
The first guys absurd theatrical screaming was really quite entertaining. 😂
😂😂😂
I can imagine how stinking the pools must be there, not to think abt the beach
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chinese businesses in Sanya seems in a hurry to recoup their losses during the pandemic, but shooting themselves at the foot in the process. Fleecing the tourists with Mafia-like prices will not make them come back to your city. They only have themselves to blame if no tourist come especially as few have disposable income nowadays.
Can you really blame them, though? Small businesses and individuals have learned from the government how to harvest leeks, since it has worked out so well for members of the CCP and government-associated businesses.
Yes we blame them. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Yes. They are following the example of greed and corruption set by the CCP. The difference is that they don’t have guns to force the tourists to come.
EXACTLY!!!
Problem comes from the top down. When the CCP hides every scandal and preaches Common Prosperity through entitlement, price gouging by an entire town is acceptable and very short-term thinking.
Go to Taiwan! Honest people and government.
Really🤣🤣🤣
Bring a luggage of 3 in 1 coffee, milk tea, oats etc, instant noodles. Don't Go. They should regulate price instead taking tourist for a ride
much thanks for this video. our family had plans to vacation there for Chinese new year.........................not now, thanks to you folks. keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!
No you didn't.😁
Seems like Hainan greed broke their own rice bowl...
The first guy complaining is hilarious
L😂L
He is ready to move to Vietnam 😂
Never been to Sanya or Hainan island. Don’t think I ever want to go now 😅.
Don’t need to go . Had been there more then 30 years ago
I just drove there last sept, 1000km on the island alone. I don’t share the complaints in this video.
@@larsradtke4097
You can drive to an island? Sure.
@@JB-yb4wn yes, the system is called Ferrying. There are busy ferry terminals, they carry 2-300 cars and 100 semis per transfer. The ferry ship need around 2h per trip, costs 400CNY or 60 per car.
@@larsradtke4097
You see what you people don't have are the semantics of the English language. If you say that you are driving to Hainan, it means that there is a bridge or tunnel for you to physically drive on or through. Driving is the physical act of driving the bloody car.
What should have been said is that we took the ferry, the implication is that you drove to the terminal, put the car on the ferry, then disembarked.
You see how it works? Great! Now tell your CCP bosses to teach English better to their UA-cam agents.
It’s China what do people expect
Even 10 years ago, Hainan was one of the worst places for tourists. Terrible beaches, overpriced and awful service.
Okay as soon as I go into any toursist place. They upcharge everything. Duh. Disneyland, 15$ for bottle water, 30$ turkey leg.
Is it $30 now??? I knew about the water but not the leg. 😂
@@ro-zeea.8734 shit idk, just saying, all tourist locals are made for profit since most places are seasonal ya know? I'm sure in China the rip off prices aren't the worst thing, toxic fake food is what I would worry about.
This is a silly and stupid comparison. Disneyland prices are astronomical. We all know that. but, they are a unique and singular attraction. Which people come from all over to see. But you don’t get fleeced by the entire town as well. Like it’s happening in this China town. See the difference here.😂
Try a little harder next time.
In reality Hainan's GDP growth is booming at 9.5% this year and tourists are flocking to the island again.
We earn new customers one at a time. We lose them the same way.
Locals from resort areas relocating to peddle their dishonest ware and service elsewhere. lol.
Dishonest merchants are killing their own businesses because word goes around. Plain stupid. It’s the same for manufacturers of lousy quality products. Earning for themselves a bad reputation and customers will go elsewhere.
They have learnt these scams from Thailand!😂 Tuk Tuk to the grand Palace = Indian clothing shop!😂
OMG such terrible reputation Gosh ! who will dare go visit now ???? 🥶🥶🥶
Chinese are scamming each other with fake foods? Oh the surprise lol
Wow this place reminds me of Las Vegas. Booked a hotel room for 400 a night. Then got a bill for 600 - they charge this mysterious “resort” fees. Forget about the added parking charges at each of the resorts. I know you have to pay extra for tourist hotspots but now they have all sorts of hidden fees. I don’t mind paying but I find it really upsetting get up charged.
Unfortunately, there are so many places have adopted these hidden fees. I booked a hotel room near the fisherman’s wharf in San Francisco. The advertised rate was 139 a night. I thought that was really cheap. After checking out, I ended up paying 300.
For Hotels in the US, you've got to call the hotel and ask about local taxes (not advertised) as many cities and counties charge hefty taxes on things that the locals won't necessarily feel in their wallets (to get pissed about); hotels and alcoholic drinks usually have hefty taxes attached.
If you want authentic Chinese culture and experience, then go to Taiwan. 🇹🇼 🍍

Sadly, I saw brawls in their parliament on tv, and more than once.
Crooked people
You can't fake all the time
KARMA!!!
Chinese being fleeced so having to fleece chinese tourists. How expected.
TY
just go to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines instead of going to Sanya 😂
I agree, then you can make the same movie
@@user-gv9zy4ki1x You need to try a little more harder to convience us they scam much worst than China
Business 101: scam = no repeat customer
I went to a tourist spot and on the way back to the hotel, the tour guide made us all get out to a marble factory. Sure, some nice statues and stuff but how can I buy one and take it home?
😂
FEDEX or UPS
Just have vans in other cities grab them off the street and force them to vacation there.
Oh yes , we all go to Hainan .
That's why Hainan is so rich
@@dongshengdi773
You're next, buddy! Pack your things...
@@GardenerEarthGuyI heard that you can get the Hainan girls at the public parks for only $10 short time
@@dongshengdi773
That will get people to vacation there- you need job on their tourism committee.
Chinese guy freaking out in video
Translator completely calm
Most explosions come with a big bang and a lot of destruction.
Its prices are luxurious while the facilities and services aren't, if you're just a middle class earner don't go to hainan and sanya island if you don't want to get stressed, it was built for the rich people
Why are all the people in your videos computer generated?
Honestly, their complaints sound so stupid… hard to be compassionate to someone screaming into their phone about their shrimp or coffee
hmm well I hope if you buy a car or house you are scammed.
Why go to Hainan when you can go to Southeasia for much much cheaper prices and experience Southeast Asian hospitality and friendliness
So if the word got out that this is happening then why would people go to get scammed. Its good nobody is going to those thieves. Hopefully they all go out of business. Same to all the scammers around the world.
Observer doomed? More than 90 million tourists visited Hainan last year, pushing its tourism revenue up to about 181.3 billion yuan (about 25.5 billion U.S. dollars), the provincial government said earlier this month.23 Jan 2024. 😅
Chinese eat/scam Chinese? better come to Sabah, Malaysia then....
No, no, no, don't mention sabah. It's beautiful and no need for loud mainland chinese.
4:25 what is that old lady doing there? 😂🤣

Where is the justice, China?
Usually tourist goes to these type of places for 2 things. To see the beautiful sights and at the same time make so many low rating reviews.
none of them going to be on my bucketlist for sure.
Made in China!
Guess those kick backs kicked back.
😊
ok , No go for SANYA go somewhere else like japan , s korea , thailand ,taiwan(oops!).
Sounds like uk prices
That first guy is funny …
Bawaaaa! Bawaaaa! I can't control my laughter. Bawaaa! LOL You can the babe out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the babe. BaWaaaa! LOL
What else did you expect from China?
Okay...do what you do.
And tourists will know what to do roo!hahaha
Never Mind. I will open economy restaurants there.
