Foreign talents should not only be encouraged to "stay" in Hainan, but also be actively facilitated to "integrate" locally. The Longhua District has adopted a dual approach—fostering a supportive environment and leveraging volunteer services—to help foreign talents cultivate a sense of belonging during their integration process. To create a conducive international atmosphere, the district has addressed key challenges faced by foreign talents in their daily life and consumption in Hainan—such as payment inconveniences, limited avenues for cultural integration, and unclear career development paths—by advancing integration initiatives through multiple channels. Regarding payment convenience, the out-of-region payment coverage rate in the Qilou Old Street has exceeded 80%, making transactions more accessible for foreign talents. In terms of cultural integration, the district has capitalized on traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, collaborating with "migratory talent" workstations to organize foreign talents' participation in folk activities—including Hainan opera appreciation, calligraphy experiences, and zongzi-making—allowing them to immerse themselves in the charm of traditional Chinese culture. For career development, the district has hosted graduation planning salons for foreign international students, inviting experts to provide career guidance for students from overseas universities in Hainan, helping them understand the employment and entrepreneurship policies as well as development opportunities within the Hainan Free Trade Port, thereby guiding outstanding foreign talents to settle and thrive in Hainan.
Encouraging talents to participate in volunteer services. Addressing challenges such as the insufficient deployment of foreign talent resources, limited channels for their participation, and inadequate management standards, Longhua District has established a volunteer service team composed of foreign talents. This initiative aims to facilitate the deployment of foreign talent resources to grassroots levels and guide them to engage in volunteer activities within local communities. By organizing foreign talents to participate in over ten volunteer service activities—including bilingual guided tours of the historic Qilou Old Street and community English training programs—foreign talents have not only leveraged their professional expertise while serving society, but also deepened their understanding of and sense of identification with Longhua. Consequently, their sense of belonging has significantly strengthened, enabling them to transition from being "guests" to becoming "family members."
Next, the Longhua District of Haikou City will fully leverage its migratory talent workstation platform to deepen collaborative exchanges between migratory talents and foreign talents, continuously optimize the service system for foreign talents, extend the reach of talent-related services, diversify forms of cultural exchange between Chinese and foreign parties, and consolidate the collective strengths of diverse talent pools—thereby contributing Longhua's distinctive strengths to the international talent competition in the Hainan Free Trade Port following its customs closure operation.
