Taiwan Province introduced new measures, and the mainland paid 2, yuan first.

Following the news that 17 mainland tourists disappeared in Taiwan Province on the 21st in the island media, the discussion on opening mainland people to come to Taiwan Province Island has been heating up continuously.

Over the past few days, the relevant units in Taiwan Province Province have continuously started a dialogue with the tourists, and introduced several new control measures for mainland people to visit Taiwan. In this regard, Taiwan Province's tourism industry generally expressed concern that business opportunities would be reduced. At the same time, public opinion in Taiwan Province Province also pointed out that mainland people should be fully opened to Taiwan for sightseeing, so as to effectively put an end to the phenomenon of cross-strait private travel.

Tourism industry hopes * don't give up eating because of choking

The police in Taiwan Province Province said that Chi Guoquan, a member of the tour group, was traced in Taoyuan County, and it was preliminarily determined that the group might be a "working group" arranged by the People and Snakes Group to work in Taiwan. On the 27th, the police announced that another tour group member, Chen Junyun, had been found in the lobby of Taoyuan Airport. In this regard, the information department of Taiwan Province Province said that the nature of the whole case should be able to determine the "new channel" established by the human snake group to arrange private crossings. ?

According to local media reports, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications of Taiwan Province Province held a discussion with the tourism industry on the 23rd, focusing on the management mechanism and operational practice of mainland people visiting Taiwan. At the meeting, it was decided that in the future, mainland people visiting Taiwan must pay a deposit of 2, yuan, which will be returned when they leave the country as scheduled, or they will be confiscated.

In addition, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications of Taiwan Province Province also suggested improving the airport reception process and setting up special passages and windows for mainland tourist groups; The entry and exit permits of mainland tourist groups coming to Taiwan are bound into a whole book and kept by tour leaders or tour guides. After this incident was exposed, the inspection process of Taiwan Province police at the airport was obviously tightened. When the reporter flew from Hong Kong to Taipei Taoyuan Airport for entry formalities on the afternoon of 23rd, he was delayed for more than 2 minutes by himself.

It is reported that at present, when mainland delegations come to Taiwan, there is a special person who is responsible for "guiding" the whole process. According to media reports here, after a 22-member mainland delegation arrived at Taoyuan Airport recently, the ground crew handed over all the relevant documents to the team leader, and then the aviation police officers guided them to the license inspection counter to check the documents. Because of the need for group action, two female members who wanted to go to the toilet waited until the whole group completed the verification procedure before they could go to the toilet.

for the practice of *, the tourism hotel operators on the island show anxiety. It is understood that the industry has called on * not to give up food because of choking, so that the business opportunities brought by mainland people who are already limited to visit Taiwan will shrink. The tourism industry on the island is worried that if the control measures stipulated in the * are too strict, it will not be conducive to attracting mainland tourists to Taiwan, and even affect tourists from other regions. You Guoqian, chairman of the Taiwan Province Provincial Association of Scenic and Recreational Areas, called on relevant departments to consider the development of the tourism industry when formulating the management measures for mainland tourists coming to Taiwan. It is not appropriate to over-expand the explanation because of individual cases, or go back and take excessive control measures, which will impact Taiwan's tourism industry, which has just improved.

The only way to prevent private crossings is to fully open up

Recently, public opinion in Taiwan Province Province pointed out that some people with strong ideology on the island accused the mainland of "invading Taiwan is indeed pervasive", which blurred and misled the nature of the facts. The management loopholes reflected in this incident are essentially the lack of overall norms in cross-strait exchanges. * We should take this as a lesson and actively promote cross-strait exchanges. In dealing with cross-strait exchanges, we should replace the pan-ideological position with a "pragmatic management" mentality. It is urgent to establish a reasonable and feasible normative framework and implementation mechanism for cross-strait exchanges.

Some business people and representatives of public opinion have suggested that the only way to effectively prevent the private travel behavior of the People-Snake Group is to fully open mainland people to Taiwan for sightseeing. These people even include the "legislators" of the pan-green camp. They believe that mainland people will come to Taiwan for sightseeing in the second phase of the island's opening up, and it is clear that mainland people can only come to Taiwan for sightseeing through a third place when they go abroad for tourism or business investigation. * It is not surprising that there are loopholes in unilaterally designing relevant systems without consulting and communicating with the mainland.

link Taiwan Province to designate three types of mainland tourists

Report by Xie Wen, a reporter from the International Herald Tribune? When talking about Taiwan Province's policy of opening mainland people to visit Taiwan, we often mention the three categories of people defined by Taiwan Province. The first category is mainland people visiting Taiwan via Hong Kong and Macao. The second category is mainlanders who go abroad for tourism or business trips; The third category is mainlanders who hold permanent residence permits in other countries. At present, Taiwan Province only allows the second and third types of mainland tourists to visit Taiwan. For the first category of mainlanders, that is, the full opening of mainland people to visit Taiwan has not yet been realized.

On November 23rd, 21, Taiwan Province's "Executive Yuan" passed the "Promotion Plan for Opening People from Mainland China to Visit Taiwan", and on January 1st, 22, it began to pilot mainland people living abroad to visit Taiwan, that is, the third category of mainland people was opened first.

On May 1th, 22, Taiwan Province began the second stage of opening up, that is, mainlanders who have lived abroad for more than four years and have local work certificates, their spouses and immediate family members are allowed to visit Taiwan. At the same time, the trial targets are extended to the second category of mainlanders, that is, mainlanders who are allowed to travel abroad or for business trips are transferred to Taiwan for sightseeing.

It is only one way for mainlanders to visit Taiwan. On the website of the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan Province Province, we can see six categories of mainlanders' visits to Taiwan: social exchange, cultural and educational exchange, economic exchange, settlement and residence, sightseeing and mini-three links. For example, social exchanges include visiting relatives, cross-strait talks or international activities; Cultural and educational exchanges include academic and scientific activities, mass communication activities, sports activities, etc. Economic exchanges include economic and trade activities, industrial science and technology activities, etc.

There are frequent cultural and educational exchanges between the two sides of the strait. Since the opening of non-governmental exchanges between the two sides of the strait, there have been 12, mainland cultural and educational professionals visiting Taiwan, and the number of mainland people visiting Taiwan is increasing year by year.
