By attending this seminar, faculty members and students of FITM gained a deeper understanding of Hainan's tourism resources and cultural

characteristics. The presentation of the visa-free policy not only deepened their understanding of Hainan's tourism potential, but also injected new impetus into the future research and teaching. By gaining a deeper understanding of the details of the policy, teachers will be able to

more accurately integrate it into their teaching and research, providing students with a cutting-edge academic perspective. At the same time, the students gained insights into the development trends of the tourism industry, providing them with important references and inspirations

for their future academic research and professional practice.
