Taiwan allows more mainland tourists
Print Edition
TAIWAN will increase the daily quota for group tourists from the Chinese mainland to 8,000 from 5,000 in the next three months to meet growing demand.
The new policy will be effective from tomorrow until February 19, David Hsieh, chairman of the Taiwan Strait Tourism Association, said yesterday.
Hsieh said that cross-Strait tourism has seen rapid growth in recent years due to better cooperation.
Taiwan has raised the group tourist quota several times and allowed tourists from more mainland regions.
Currently, residents of 47 mainland cities are eligible to visit the island as individual tourists.
Taiwan lifted the ban on group tourism from the mainland in 2008 and opened up to mainland individual tourists in 2011.
The association has had offices in Beijing and Shanghai and pins high hope on the new one to further promote tourism in Taiwan.
So far this year, more than 3.1 million mainland tourists have traveled to Taiwan and nearly 4.1 million Taiwan people have visited the mainland.
