How was the tourism in Taiwan Province Province during the 11th Five-Year Plan period?

Li Jinshan, a taxi driver in Taipei, said that in the past, he could pick up three or four land passengers a day during the "Eleventh" holiday, but now it is good to pick up one land passenger every three or four days.

This year's "Eleventh" and Mid-Autumn Festival in the mainland meet, and the gold content of the eight-day holiday is more than before, but the famous scenic spots in Taiwan Province Province, such as Sun Moon Lake, Qixing Lake and Alishan, are still hard to see the lively scenes of the past.

After working for more than 30 years, she said: "In the past, Sun Moon Lake was full of mainland tourists. Our monthly operating income is at least 6.5438+0 million yuan (NTD, the same below), and now it is about 300,000 yuan. "

Lin Xiaomei, a staff member of a hotel near Sun Moon Lake, said that during the "Eleventh" period this year, there were more land passengers than usual, but about 50% less than in previous years, especially the number of group passengers dropped even more.

Yang Jinshan set up a stall in Qixingtan Scenic Area 1 1 year, which is one of the longest business hours here. He said: "In the past, the seaside was crowded with people at this time. You see that tourists are scattered now, at least half of them are missing. "

Shi said that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities claimed to "maintain the status quo" before taking office, but the "status quo" did not seem to be what they said.

According to the statistics of Taiwan Province authorities, from 1 to August this year, the number of visitors to Taiwan was about 1.75 million, a decrease of 900,000, or 34%, compared with the same period of last year, and the tourism revenue dropped sharply. The authorities hope that the "new southward" policy will bring Southeast Asian tourists to fill it.

Shi observed that there are indeed many tourists in Southeast Asia, but their purchasing power cannot be compared with that of land passengers.

Statistics show that mainland tourists spend an average of 198.4 USD per person per day in Taiwan Province, while southeast Asian tourists only spend about 150 USD per person. Taiwan Province tourism industry believes that even if the number of the latter tourists to Taiwan increases, it can't make up for the loss of land passengers and consumption.

The tourism management department of Taiwan Province Province claims that the number of mainland tourists coming to Taiwan during the "Eleventh" holiday this year has greatly increased compared with last year. In the first four days, the daily average number of individual passengers reached 1.2 million, an increase of over 30% year-on-year.

Lu Xiaoya, president of the All-China Federation of Tourist Bus Passenger Transport Business Associations, said that although the number of land passengers increased during the Golden Week, it was only a short-term phenomenon. If cross-strait relations do not improve, the number of tourists to Taiwan will still decline after the Golden Week. He said that now many tour bus operators can't see tomorrow's orders, and tour buses can only be placed in the parking lot to bask in the sun.
