The island has built an innovative platform to expand businesses and enhance relations with Taiwan in travel, employment and the development of tourism products.

"Pingtan has made full use of the stacking policy advantages of the comprehensive experimental zone, the pilot free trade zone, and the international tourism island to maximize the release of policy dividends to benefit tourism companies and investors," Lin said.

Pingtan has preserved its cultural heritage with rich regional characteristics, including Austronesian and Pingtan traditional folk residences and reinforced cross-Straits collaboration in cultural tourism.

Lin said the island has developed Austronesian archaeological bases, strengthened the inheritance and exchanges of traditional Chinese culture, and created a "common spirit of harmony among youth on both sides of the Straits".

"We must continue to innovate and diversify marketing while actively promoting the construction and development of an international tourist island," Lin said.
