Mainland boosts Taiwan tourism

TOURISTS from the Chinese mainland brought more than US$5 billion in profits to Taiwan's sightseeing sector in about three and a half years, the island's mainland affairs department estimated yesterday.

By the end of last year, more than 3.05 million mainland tourists visited Taiwan since the island allowed mainland tourists to visit in tour groups in July 2008, the department said. It estimated that each mainland tourist spent US$263 each day on the island and stayed 6.5 nights on average.
