From the perspective of content structure, Hainan Sports Expo has jumped out of the traditional expo model. In addition to the basic display of brands and products, it also integrates diversified content such as event performances, on-site experience, cutting-edge technology, training units, fashion sports, themed cultural creation, and urban sports tourism. These are indispensable parts of constructing a new sports industry ecology and important resources for the development of a Chinese sports tourism economy with different characteristics in the future. It is bound to attract domestic cities to use this as an opportunity. Integrate related industry tax exemption policies and industrial chain advantages, and establish a new cross-regional international sports industry cooperation pattern with Hainan.

From the perspective of industrial layout, Hainan Sports Expo will build a cooperative, and exchange expo platform with online and offline resource services.
