The upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays have sparked a major travel buzz with the "three days off for a 13-day break" strategy going viral. Since the two holidays are only three days apart, taking three additional leave days creates a lengthy vacation window, prompting many travelers to finalize their plans much earlier than usual.
For those planning a trip, a fresh wave of Hainan cultural tourism consumption vouchers is set to launch on August 27. According to the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports, the 2026 "Vibrant Free Trade Port, Charming Hainan Island" campaign will officially kick off at 10:00 on August 27 and run through October 15, covering both peak travel seasons to boost holiday spending and energize the island's tourism economy.
Airfare Discounts of 200 Yuan and 20% Off for Ferries and Rail
Starting August 27, between 10:00 and 23:00 daily, visitors can claim transportation vouchers via the "Cloud Quick Pass" app or the "Cool Travel Hainan" mini-program. The campaign covers air travel, rail, and ferry services into the island. Those flying can enjoy a direct 200-yuan reduction on airfare by booking eligible non-stop flights to Hainan through designated channels and applying the voucher at checkout. For rail and ferry passengers, an 80% discount is available, with a maximum savings of 100 yuan. Ferry discounts apply to qualifying individual passenger tickets and accompanying vehicle tickets, while details on rail voucher availability, participating platforms, and usage terms will be announced through official channels at a later date.
Hotel Vouchers Offer 100 Yuan Off
After successfully redeeming any transportation voucher, travelers will also receive a hotel voucher, providing a 100-yuan discount on bookings for designated hotel products through partner platforms. Currently, airline and hotel vouchers can be used on platforms such as Qunar, Fliggy, Umetrip, and Flight Manager, while ferry vouchers are valid on the "Ferry Manager" app or mini-program. To safeguard fiscal funds and protect consumer rights, the campaign enforces strict real-name verification, identity checks, and abnormal transaction monitoring, cracking down on fraudulent transactions, bulk voucher harvesting, and scalping to ensure subsidies are distributed fairly and efficiently.
Beyond core transportation and hotel perks, the initiative integrates resources across tourism, commerce, and finance to offer a comprehensive benefits package spanning dining, lodging, travel, shopping, and entertainment. Eligible visitors can claim these additional benefits according to the rules, enhancing the overall value of their Hainan trip. For detailed information on voucher collection channels, participation steps, and the upcoming launch of rail-related offers, travelers are advised to monitor the official new media accounts of the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism and the "Cool Travel Hainan" mini-program.
