Hainan resumed the visa-free entry for tourists from 59 countries in March, which has facilitated the entry and exit of qualified participating teams, according to the event's organizers.

Tour of Hainan is jointly organized by the General Administration of Sport of China and the People's Government of Hainan Province. It has been proposed and supported in an announcement of the State Council entitled "On promoting the Development of International Tourism on Hainan Island". This year's cycling race marks the first international top-tier sports competition held in Hainan since it began to construct the free trade port in 2018.
