China's Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced Thursday that Hainan will implement a tax rebate program for tourists on a trial basis from April 20. The program targeted tourists 18 years old and above from home and abroad who would like to fly off the island to other places of China and set the rebate cap on commodities with a total value of no more than 5,000 yuan (762 U.S. dollars) per person each time.
