China Taiwan Network August 27th News Seeing that mainland tourists are no longer visiting Taiwan, the Taiwan authorities' "Executive Yuan" is really anxious. Faced with the tragic situation of the tourism industry on the island, the "Executive Yuan" of the Taiwan authorities has urgently ordered the "Tourism Bureau" to go to the mainland to attract customers.
Taiwan's China Times reported this morning that the number of mainland travel groups delivering documents to Taiwan (application for entry procedures) has been falling sharply recently. "Executive Yuan Political Commissar" Zhang Jingsen said yesterday that the situation of mainland tourists coming to Taiwan in the next few months is "not very optimistic". He has instructed the Taiwan authorities to propose expansion plans for the mainland tourists market next week, and asked the "Tourism Bureau" to join groups in conjunction with the private associations to visit the mainland, so as to strive for high-quality mainland tourists to visit Taiwan.
According to reports, the Taiwan authorities' "Minister of Transportation" He Chendan invited 18 heavyweight experts and scholars from the tourism industry on the 19th and 24th to listen to the industry's response to the dilemma. He Chendan said that hopes to promote in-depth tourism by partitioning, time-division , and diversion. However, Li Qiyue, spokesperson of the Taiwan Travel Association Federation, questioned that -hour time and diversion can only be done when there is a quantity. Now there are no customers and no one anywhere, so what is the point of diversion?
Taiwan's "Tourism Bureau" latest statistics pointed out that the number of mainland tourists coming to Taiwan in in July this year decreased by nearly 53,000 compared with the same period last year, with a recession of 15.3%, the largest decline in previous years. Among them, the number of mainland tourists decreased by 35.2% in July and the number of individual tourists decreased by 14.5%; from August 1 to 23, the number of mainland tourists decreased by 55.3%, and the number of individual tourists decreased by 13.9%. is expected to reduce mainland tourists by 400,000 this year. Statistics from the "Immigration Department" of
units show that from July to 26, the total number of pieces delivered per day was approximately more than 10,000, and the total number of pieces was "slides" all the way from the 27th. By August 25, less than 5,000 pieces were left.
Zhang Jingsen said that in order to expand customers, he has instructed the Taiwan "Tourism Bureau" to recently pass the "Tourism Two Sessions" (Taiwan Tourism Association and Mainland Sea Tourism Association), combined with the private associations to visit the mainland, visit major units and provincial and municipal marketing promotions, participate in mainland tourism exhibitions, and work closely with mainland travel operators to strive for more mainland tourists to come to Taiwan.
Hearing that the Executive Yuan urgently ordered the Tourism Bureau to visit the mainland to attract tourists, although some businessmen couldn't help saying, "Go quickly", if you go, you will have an effect, it is better than not, Taiwan's "Wangbao" said that this move is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree.
《Wangbao believes that the reason why Taiwan’s “Executive Yuan” turns to “hairpin bend” is mainly because the island’s tourism industry plans to connect nearly 20,000 people to the streets on September 12, which forces the “Executive Yuan” to take action quickly. At present, the communication and contact mechanism between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has almost stopped. Although some travelers are optimistic that the friendship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait "Tourism Two Sessions" (Mainland Sea Tourism Association and Taiwan Taiwan Tourism Association) is still there, and the personnel from both sides are familiar with each other. If the Taiwan "Tourism Bureau" really sends people to the mainland, it is estimated that the mainland will still treat it with face based on the past feelings. But the industry knows that Tsai Ing-wen does not recognize " 1992 Consensus ", which has led to interruption of communication and contact between the two parties. At this time, she went to attract customers and lacked mutual trust and did not know where to take them.
The Tsai administration did not take action until the tourism industry was about to take to the streets. Some businesses were dissatisfied and said that Tsai Ing-wen should have done it long ago to coordinate the affairs of mainland tourists. Now that I have come to protest, I think of doing it. To put it bluntly, I just don’t look at the root of the problem and just make a perfunctory move. (China Taiwan Network Wang Siyu)
