Two roundtable sessions addressed foreign residents' daily convenience in Sanya and industry-education pathways for language talent.

Foreign practitioners shared firsthand views. Avrorov Aleksei, marketing and promotion manager at Hainan Saiaofei International Travel Agency Co, said four years in Hainan have shown steady improvements, with many Sanya scenic area staff members now speaking basic Russian and English.

Hirayama Yuichi, general manager of JC General (Hainan) Consulting Ltd, said daily-life foreign language services largely meet demand, but business-oriented professionals remain scarce. He urged local colleges to add business conversation courses.
