Many visitors at the Luxury Properties Showcase in Guangzhou were looking to buy islands in the South Pacific for a few million yuan, about the same price as an apartment in Shenzhen. Wang Haiyang, General Manager at Vladi Private Islands, an international island broker, said an increasing number of Chinese entrepreneurs had expressed an interest in investing in islands in recent years. Investors preferred islands that were not too remote and priced from tens of millions of yuan to CNY100 million, Wang said. Fiji in the South Pacific and Canada were among the popular choices.
