Recently, Guangzhou Kaitai Transportation Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kaitai Company), a subsidiary of Guangzhou Development District Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Guangkai Transport Investment Group), signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Hainan Yaode Waterfront Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Hainan Yaode) in Sanya, Hainan Province. The two parties will collaborate on the construction of public yacht marinas and supporting facilities, water sports events and cultural tourism operations, and youth water sports educational tours. Relying on the Yuzhu Bay Public Yacht Marina, they will gradually explore a new model that integrates a "yacht + low-altitude" three-dimensional land-water-air transportation network with cultural tourism.
According to the agreement, the two parties will pioneer cooperation in three key areas. In terms of infrastructure construction, they will plan and build smart public yacht marinas, yacht clubs, and maintenance and dry-stack storage facilities to address the local shortcomings of "difficult berthing and a lack of maintenance" for yachts. In terms of water sports events and cultural tourism operations, they will introduce national and international water sports event IPs, such as sailing and kayaking, to stimulate waterfront commercial and cultural tourism consumption. Additionally, leveraging Huangpu's rich waterfront resources, they will launch youth training and educational tours for water sports to cultivate a long-term consumer base.
Moving forward, the Guangkai Transport Investment Group will use this signing as a starting point. Relying on the Yuzhu Bay Public Yacht Marina, it will actively explore the new integration model of a "yacht + low-altitude" three-dimensional land-water-air transportation network and cultural tourism, injecting fresh vitality into Huangpu District's waterfront economy.
