Hainan Sunup Investment Group

Established three decades ago with a strong base in Hainan, China, Hainan Sunup Investment Group has evolved into a diversified corporation that integrates three core businesses: urban renewal and transformation, rural revitalization and beautification, and operation and integration of cultural tourism. In cooperation with the InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, Hainan Sunup Investment Group has created a series of comprehensive high-end boutique hotels for leisure and business travel, launched Holiday Inn & Suites Sanya Yalong Bay, Hualuxe Hotels and Resorts Yalong Bay, and will launch West Coast Sunup Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts in Haikou. Holiday Inn & Suites Sanya Yalong Bay and Hualuxe Hotels and Resorts Yalong Bay, located in the Yalong Bay National Tourism Resort, close to the beach of Yalong Bay, near the mountain, lake, and sea, with unique natural landscape, is an ideal choice for tourism and vacation. West Coast Sunup Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts in Haikou, located in the core area of the West Coast of Haikou, will be built to be a business travel resort hotel in accordance with international high-end brand hotel standards.

A leadership gift from Hainan Sunup Investment Group, with encouragement from UNLV alumnus and Executive Vice President Zenghui “Ricky” Sun ’13, created the International Student Success Center in UNLV’s Hospitality Hall. The Center bridges language and cultural gaps faced by international students at the William F. Harrah College of Hospitality.
