According to China Review Network on April 21, Xin Jinlong, the driver of the Kaohsiung Tourist Bus and president of the Mainland Troupe Driver Alliance, said on the 20th that the sharp decline in mainland tourists affects livelihoods. They will organize the " Kaohsiung City Mainland Troupe Driver Association" to actively speak out to the Tsai "government". They all support 1112 Consensus , and they also believe that only by peace and stability between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can Taiwan's people's livelihood economy and sightseeing tourism rise one day.
According to the latest information from Taiwan's "Tourism Bureau", in a total of 10 months from May last year to February this year, the number of mainland tourists traveling to Taiwan decreased by 1.127 million compared with the same period. Based on the daily consumption amount of RMB 7,000 per person in Taiwan and the 7-day stay, tourism-related operators' income dropped by RMB 55 billion.
Xin Jinlong said that there are currently about 1,400 tour buses in Kaohsiung, only 70% are running, and the remaining 30% are resting. The sharp drop in mainland tourists, everyone has been living a hard life. Now the monthly income is only more than NT$20,000. It has become the norm for tourist buses to bask in the sun and cannot be sold. For everyone's livelihood, they decided to set up an association. This idea is widely recognized by many driving brothers.
Xin Jinlong was interviewed by Zhongping News Agency in the evening of the 20th in the large-scale tour bus parking lot behind of Kaohsiung Lie 2 Art Special Zone. He said that in the past, when the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were in full swing, Kaohsiung Buer-2 needed at least 240 large parking spaces, but now it has been reduced by at least two-thirds. Most mainland tourists travel to Taiwan choose to travel to 7 to 15 days, and their sightseeing consumption capacity is definitely stronger than those from Southeast Asia.
Xin Jinlong said that in the past, the purpose of establishing the Land Group Driver Leaders Alliance was to hope that the driver brothers would love and help each other, but now the market conditions have become extremely poor, and many people are under huge economic pressure. Therefore, he decided to upgrade this group and formally establish the People's Organization Association to respond to the "government". Cross-strait relations should be back on track as soon as possible. In the future, the association will start from the establishment of Kaohsiung first and then establish an organization in the north, central and southern regions. The government will only pay attention to the driver of the mainland regiment if it is united to express its opinions. Otherwise, if we starve to death, no one will care. Xin said that the draft of the organizational charter has been drafted and applications will be submitted in the future according to the normal channels.
