Retail and Business Districts in Haikou

Haikou’s main retail, duty-free and office areas include:

• Haikou International Duty-Free City
• Riyue Square
• Guomao business district
• Qilou Old Street
• Binhai Avenue business district

Security Considerations in Haikou

Customers at duty-free stores are mainly visitors from outside the island, and pickup, queuing and payment are relatively concentrated, so display areas for high-value categories such as watches and jewelry need steady post coverage and clear handover procedures. Duty-Free City and Riyue Square are very large, with many entrances and parking areas, so post deployment must fit with the mall property’s security arrangements.

Haikou’s peak tourist season runs from winter until around the Spring Festival each year, when visitors from outside the island increase markedly and store traffic and hotel hospitality needs rise together. Summer and autumn are the main typhoon season, and the Post Orders need to set out procedures for store closure, securing items and staff evacuation during typhoon warnings. High temperatures and strong sunshine all year round also call for rotation and hydration at outdoor posts.

Free Trade Port policies have drawn many companies to set up regional offices in Haikou, and office buildings in the Guomao business district and along Binhai Avenue have daily needs for visitor registration and access control. Officers use Mandarin as their working language, some local customers speak Hainanese, and posts that receive foreign travelers and business visitors are best staffed with officers who speak English.

Common Questions

How Do Security Posts at Offshore Duty-Free Stores Differ From Those at Ordinary Retail Stores?

Offshore duty-free stores usually need officers to support the operator’s pickup, verification and merchandise control procedures, so officers need to understand the steps that relate to order on site. The Post Orders are written around the store’s operating rules and the mall property’s requirements, and their specific content is confirmed after the site assessment.

How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
