Cross-Strait tourism a win-win vision

China Daily  

The Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taipei. As the newly-elected leader Lai Ching-te prepares to "take office" on Monday, the Taiwan authorities should seize the opportunity to thaw cross-Strait relations, starting with the tourism sector. The sign of a possible change was evident in the mainland tourism authorities' announcement that residents of Fujian province on the Chinese mainland could again travel to Matsu in Taiwan. Since cross-Strait tourism has come to a halt because of the lack of trust between the two sides of the Strait, the DPP should heed the advice of the island's tourism industry and lift the unreasonable ban on group tours to the mainland as a gesture of goodwill. During extensive cross-Strait exchanges in the past, the influx of mainland tourists boosted Taiwan's tourism industry.
