32、 traffic.Hainan had about 35%fewer duty-free shoppers in 2022.Strong promotions and an International Consumption Expo were held in the third quarter to reinvigorate travel and purchasing.However,they were followed by more lockdowns.Despite the lackluster results,the central government is committed t
