The 24th is a shocking day in Taiwan's tourism industry. Hou Youyi, a Kuomintang presidential candidate, held a press conference to propose a popular tourist political opinion that was welcomed by the industry. The routine dinner party in Taiwan also invited the VIPs of the Blue Camp.However, the Tsai government chose to "follow the public opinion" to release the two -way tour of cross -strait group tourists, and people from the third place to visit Taiwan to visit Taiwan, and relaxed many measures to come to Taiwan to come to Taiwan for business exchanges.Gan Lin, who has been looking forward to for a long time, was expected to be announced by the government more than 4 months ago. Sima Zhao's heart was known.And in terms of open content, it can be found that a bunch of obstacles can be hidden at all. I just want to appease the industry before election. There is no sincerity to truly open cross -strait tourism.

In particular, the tourism part of the group on both sides of the strait also said that the preparation period was based on the 1 month.The Taiwan Affairs Office of the Mainland responded on the 25th, but the planning of the MAC was drawing cakes. It was actually more stringent to relax the exchanges on both sides of the strait. It also said that the plan set three disgraceful records in the history of cross -strait exchanges.The industry is not surprised to respond to the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, because the so -called opening of the MAC actually has a lot of operating techniques to overcome it, and Lu Fangzhizhi's heart is clear.The Mainland Council's mind was kicked to the iron plate.

In 2001, when the "National Federation of the Republic of China Travel Commercial Association" (referred to as the Alliance) was established, when I took over as the Secretary -General, the main task of the establishment of the Alliance was to assist the government to open up to Taiwan for sightseeing becausePresident Chen Shui -bian's cross -strait policy has led to cross -strait officials. However, in order to implement the "Open Land Passenger Come to Taiwan for sightseeing" during the implementation of the A -Bian campaign, the Alliance is the government's window (that is, white gloves), and strives to negotiate with the other side.Essence

At that time, the government divided the Luke into three categories, and did not agree to the other side, so a small hole was opened, allowing the third category of mainlanders who lived overseas to apply. The results were not good. Only a few people applied to come to Taiwan to come to TaiwanAt that time, passengers who were open to Taiwan through the third place finally increased some passengers, but they still failed to open up.The most prosperous golden period.

But under the administration of Tsai Ing -wen, the door to sightseeing and tourism on both sides of the strait has been closed. Now due to the pressure of election, the open plan proposed by the MAC is just a small hole.Essence

In terms of cross -strait group tourism, the MAC is limited to the daily limit of 2,000 people in the early days of the landing group in Taiwan.EssenceIn other words, the control measures have not been good, and the opening time is still early. I would like to ask what it means to announce that this urgent chapter plus the temporary measures to be lost to the other side.This is simply that the ruling party really does not really need to implement the tourist exchange on both sides of the strait. If not as long as the Luke is open to Taiwan for sightseeing or business, you can apply for a license to enter the stage. You can come to Taiwan at any time.

If the Tsai government insists on the "openness" on both sides of the strait, then, before, the Cai government has opened visa -free visa to many countries in Southeast Asia before to promote international tourism.?If Southeast Asian countries can be incompatible with Taiwan, why should we seek mainland law and Taiwan?

The Taiwanese group to the mainland also has the same allocation system. In addition to the 1 month of preparation period, it is almost troublesome.Only 2,000 people are only open to the area. The government also finds all travel associations and related associations in Taiwan to meet and negotiate. Is it necessary to make a lot of obstacles to make a lot of obstacles?When these obstacles are overcome, I'm afraid the election is over!And now the land side ignores the plan of the MAC, so did everything go back to the origin?Can the tourist players only continue to drink the Northwest Wind?

Tourism on both sides of the strait should consider safety, so that Taiwanese people travel to the mainland without the care of leaders and tour guides, and now many people travel to remote areas, and it is more difficult for people to assist in the accident.Two weeks ago, when I went to the mainland to participate in the cross -strait travel industry exchange activities, I received a request for emergency rescue assistance assistance to passengers who had a altitude response in Yushu in Qinghai. As a result, it was sad because the previous rescue was not in place.

The measures to open Taiwan people to travel to the mainland are completely controlled in the hands of the Taiwan government. Why should they restrict the right to travel, and they have to wait for the response to the other side. They agree to allow Luke to come to Taiwan for sightseeing.As we all know, as long as Lu Fang encounters important elections in Taiwan, it will ask Luke not to come to Taiwan to visit, so the planning plan of the MAC is intentionally embarrassed.

If the business and exhibition are open (this should have been opened for a long time), the government will only fool the industry and cannot appreciate public opinion to be substantially open.Protest on the street.
