Uninhabited
Islands Set for Individual Development
Survival training on isolated island
is a popular tourism activity in China. |
China has issued its first Island Rules allowing
individuals to apply to develop and use uninhabited islands.
The longest utilization period is 50 years, and applicants must
abide by related regulations regarding protection of natural
resources on islands and making scientific plans for their development.
Marine and fishing departments of Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces
have received some consultation calls on island renting since
the rules were announced. A large number of people have expressed
interest in becoming island owners.
