ABSTRACT

At the present, the problem of population aging in Hainan is becoming more and more serious, the number of "Snowbirds" is increasing, and the burden faced by the Hainan Senior Care Industry is adding. In order to effectively cope with the aging of the population and protect and improve people's livelihood, Hainan Province should accelerate the development of the Senior Care Industry, especially to improve the medical supporting facilities of senior care institutions to meet the urgent security needs of the elderly. This article is based on the study of the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, and makes a comprehensive analysis of Hainan’s elderly care institutions. It is found that Hainan’s Senior Care Industry has some problems, such as the contradiction between supply and demand, weak medical supporting facilities and unclear policies. To address these problems, the Hainan government should promote the opening of the Senior Care Industry, make up for the shortage of talents, and promote the full implementation of the policy.
