[/b] recently, "Taiwan free" micro-blog issued statistical data, in the second batch of open to Taiwan personal tour of the city, Xi'an to Taiwan personal visitors number is 2881, Ji'nan is 1762, in all cities at the end of the same period, the cumulative number of Shenzhen is open to the same period is 18655 people.
reporter learned that from August 28, 2012, 4 cities in Ji'nan, Xi'an, Fuzhou and Shenzhen have officially started to travel to Taiwan. This is the second group of individual tours to Taiwan after Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen. In these cities, the number of Ji'nan and Xi'an is more than Shenzhen. Why is the number of people going to Taiwan so little?
so far, we have done the formalities for 400 people to travel to Taiwan. Li Qi, the Taiwan manager of Shandong Transportation Group Co., Ltd., told reporters that from now on, the public travel to Taiwan is still the main group, and the proportion of individual traveling to Taiwan is less than 20%.
in the list of travel agencies designated to travel to Taiwan by mainland residents, there are 9 travel agencies with qualified tour groups in Shandong Province, and the number of individual tours to Taiwan is relatively small. "In the end, they chose the newspaper group and almost no one traveled to Taiwan." Shandong Jiahua national brigade in charge of the Taiwan Department said.
"many people in Ji'nan are traveling to Taiwan for the first time, and group tours are much more than personal trips." Ji'nan Tourism Bureau staff said that although there is no detailed statistics, but the number of visitors to Taiwan is also expected.
[b] costs high procedures cumbersome stumbling block
[/b] "Ji'nan to Taipei, round-trip 4000 yuan, rather than newspaper group." "Once the child - the sunset" is said by the net friend. Some netizens believe that Ji'nan's flight to Taiwan is ten thousand yuan.
net friend "cnpink Rui" thinks that the Ji'nan newspaper group is less than 5000 yuan, and the free line with a little quality is basically over 7000 yuan, and the money is about to go abroad.
in addition to travel expenses, cumbersome procedures have also been criticized by netizens. Netizens "Qifeng CC" said that the requirements for emergency contacts were too strict for many people to get into the card. "
" I took my mother and had to leave my father as an emergency contact. In order to prove the immediate family relationship, the first generation only child card of the cultural relic level was used. " Net friend Nozuki Hikaruhikaru thinks that the procedures for entering the card now are much more troublesome than foreign visas.
it is reported that, according to the regulations, the people who travel to Taiwan should have Ji'nan's household registration, and I go to the entry and exit administration department of the domicile place to handle the Taiwan pass of the mainland residents and the personal travel endorsement, and then entrust the local travel agency with the qualification of the group to travel to Taiwan to go through the formalities.
visitors are required to provide relevant financial qualification certification materials. Students above 18 years of age should provide student card color scanning pieces, not full 20 years old to provide the consent of the parents, and so on, formalities obstruct the footsteps of many young people to travel to Taiwan.
[b] experts suggested that the procedures should be simplified and the theme of tourism
[/b] should be clear. "With the increase of tourists to Taiwan, there will be more and more personal tours to Taiwan." Li Qi said that at present, the time to travel to Taiwan is relatively short. Many people are going to Taiwan for the first time. Therefore, they generally choose to go on a group tour.
reporters learned that personal tours to Taiwan are better suited to people in Taiwan or backpackers. They want to know more about one aspect of Taiwan. In addition, there are relatives and friends in Taiwan who are very fond of personal travel. Most of the middle and old people go to Taiwan in the provincial capital, so they mostly follow the regiment.
"personal travel to Taiwan should also be simplified." Li Qi said that Taiwan's free travel must be truly developed rapidly, and simplifying the procedures for entering the Taiwan area is still the most direct way.
people in the industry believe that people in Ji'nan are generally not well aware of the situation in Taiwan. Even personal tours are mostly based on network data to plan their own road maps, and the effect of tourism is not good and people are not interested.
"the development of tourism market is a gradual process. I believe that with the increase of tourists to Taiwan, personal tourism may become the mainstream mode in the future." According to the introduction, the visitors to Taiwan are generally from the airport in Taipei and Kaohsiung, the airport capacity is limited, and the information of the hotels, scenic spots and car rentals, which are urgently needed for individual travel, is also short.
to this end, tourism practitioners in Taiwan should provide a clear tourist theme for individual tourists, combine the history of the humanities with the local landscape, and make recommendations for some of the classic individual tour routes.
