A top tourism destination in southern China, Sanya launched the "Hearts to Hearts" online campaign on May 20th to recruit Sanya ambassadors through the city's official social media platforms for a 15-day experience trip. New software was adapted to calculate scores automatically, which encouraged all participants to actively interact with Sanya's social media accounts with all the efforts they could gain from their networks. The Sanya ambassadors went through several rounds of fierce competitions, from Top 60 to Top 20, and then Top 5, with 6 candidates finally winning the dream tour in Sanya, staying at top hotels, enjoying relaxing beach times, watching grand performance shows, exploring the rainforests, Li and Miao ethnic customs and Buddhist culture, experiencing Taichi, hot spring spa and traditional Chinese physical therapies and many more. They carried out an exciting task of sharing their experiences in Sanya on social media to compete for the final cash award of USD 30,000 based on marketing performance and engagement scores.

The most exciting moment was to announce the year-end grand prize - the USD 30,000 award - which went to Mr. Luke Campbell Charny from London, UK. Luke is the founder of Yettio Travel Magazine, an independent online magazine providing travel guides and information of global destinations. Luke has actively taken part in the campaign since the very beginning and spared no efforts to help promote Sanya online using his expertise in the travel industry and online marketing supported by magnificent social networking.

Among the 6 Sanya Hearties is Irina Vizner from Russia. It isn't her first visit to Sanya, yet she is still amazed by how much the city has developed. Although she has visited many other places in the world, Sanya is definitely the most distinct one from the other destinations, especially in terms of food and culture. "No matter how often I come here, I always want to return to this beautiful place." Sanya is a place where you always can find something new to see and explore.

Sanya, your tropical paradise is inviting you to experience and bring your holiday fantasy to life!
