海南省于12月18日成为与中国大陆其他地区分离的海关辖区，对约6600类商品免征关税，以推动其自由贸易港地位下的经济增长。该岛屿人口超过1000万，面积略大于比利时，此举旨在摆脱以往三次投机繁荣与崩盘后的旅游中心经济模式，转向更可持续的发展路径。
海南省正经历经济转型。Joyce Wu于2013年从海南迁往香港后，在回乡探访海口时，曾惊叹于不断涌现的摩天大楼，这些高楼得益于房地产驱动的经济繁荣。然而，约2020年起，这种势头减弱，取而代之的是更多专业人士和外国学者通过大学合作抵达，以及省外商业兴趣的增加。Wu表示：“他们显然不是游客。他们是专业人士或研究人员。”这一观察反映了海南的整体转变：在三次由政策红利驱动的投机繁荣破灭后，该省以往以旅游为主的经济正转向围绕自由贸易港地位的更可持续增长模式，尽管长期结构性制约依然存在。海南岛屿面积略大于比利时，人口逾1000万。新海关规则将该岛与其他大陆分离，对约6600类商品——占应税进口品的74%——免征关税。关键词包括海口、三亚、中国免税集团和“一带一路”倡议。
