This starts with why Hainan TV changed its name to travel channel.

In 1999, Hainan Satellite TV was officially launched as the last provincial satellite TV in China. However, due to the small size of Hainan's economy and the slow progress of satellite TV coverage, Hainan Satellite TV has been in a difficult operation since its launch.

In 2002, Hainan TV applied for Hainan Satellite TV to be renamed as travel channel. This time, it was not just a simple renaming, but the introduction of social capital, hoping to reverse the unsustainable business situation. So the new travel channel headquarters is no longer in Haikou, but in Beijing, where all the programs except Hainan News Network are produced.

In 2004, after the launch of the windmill logo, travel channel once again ushered in a major revision, creating a satellite TV channel featuring tourism information, fashion and entertainment. It is estimated that it should be the most prosperous period in travel channel at that time.

In 2010, in response to Hainan's call to build an international tourist island, travel channel changed its logo to green. At that time, travel channel Channel focused on green, environmental protection and humanity.

Later, due to travel channel's repeated revisions, the ratings have plummeted. In recent years, due to the expiration of contracts with outsourcing companies, many programs have been returned to Hainan Radio and Television Station for operation, making people realize that "travel channel is Hainan's".

To get to the point, the name change on May 1, 2019, in the final analysis, let everyone know that Hainan also has its own satellite TV. After all, looking at the major provincial satellite TV stations in China, travel channel is not named after the province (except for the East and Southeast, which are named after regions), so many people don't know that travel channel belongs to Hainan. The name change is to make Hainan Satellite TV a window for everyone to know about Hainan, and it is also the beginning of the new Hainan Satellite TV Phoenix Nirvana. Slogan [standing on the tide, facing the world] embodies the new realm of Hainan Satellite TV.
