The Boao Forum for Asia has gone through the road, confirming the changes in the overall pattern of the times.

The town has a three-dimensional transportation system, receiving 5.8 million tourists throughout the year; as China's largest special economic zone Hainan has also become one of the most open and dynamic regions in China.

Boao Plan', made positive contributions."

From the time when the forum was established that year, only more than 500 people attended the meeting, to more than 2,000 guests from 63 countries and regions attended the meeting in 2018, the increasingly loud "Boao Voice" is closely linked to the development process of China and Asia.

The eighth United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was elected chairman; Zhou Xiaochuan, vice chairman of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former president of the People's Bank of China, served as the chief representative of the forum.
