Taiwan opens up to Chinese FIT travel

The new visa rules will initially be available to residents of Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen, with a quota of 500 arrivals per day.

Eligible travellers can apply through 33 travel agents designated to handle group tours to Taiwan. One of four assigned travel agents in Xiamen, Xiamen C&D Travel has come up with five FIT itineraries ranging from four to six days. Their four-day Taipei package, including direct flight and five-star hotel stay, costs RMB$3,980 (US$615) per person.
In order to cope with burgeoning FIT demand, cross-strait flights will be increased from 370 to 558 per week. The additonal frequency will go to second- and third-tier cities. North China is now served by 44 weekly flights, Yangtze River Delta has 165 flights, and Pearl River Delta has 48 flights.
