Holding the 50 million yuan cooperation letter of intent just signed with the mainland travel agency, Wang Shihao, associate manager of the Mainland Travel Division of Taiwan Southeast Travel Agency, said with joy: " The prospects for cross-strait tourism cooperation are very promising, and Taiwan is looking forward to the upcoming opening of individual tours. "

At the second Yabuli Cross-Strait Economic and Trade Forum held in Heilongjiang, a number of Taiwanese travel agencies came to Heilongjiang to negotiate and sign cooperation agreements with colleagues in the mainland tourism industry. People in Taiwan's tourism industry said that the upcoming individual tours for mainland residents to Taiwan, which will be launched on June 28, will help enhance exchanges and understanding between people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and will also promote the development of Taiwan's tourism industry in a more refined direction.

"In the past, group travel was in and out of groups, which was more restricted. Individual travel is relatively more free, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for Taiwan." Wang Shihao said that with the promotion of individual travel, Taiwan's tourism routes and catering service industry will become more refined.

A forecast recently released by Taiwan's tourism authorities shows that after the opening of individual travel to Taiwan by mainland residents, assuming that 500 people stay for 7-15 days per day and the average daily consumption per person is US$245.43, there will be 182,500 tourists a year, bringing revenue of NT$9.1 billion to NT$19.5 billion to related industries on the island.

People have always believed that individual tours must be larger than tour groups. Taiwan's official, private and travel agencies are working hard to make all preparations.
