Shanghai China Travel Service has begun to take bookings for Taiwan tours and
is just waiting for the official opening of Taiwan tours for travelers from the
Chinese mainland, today's Youth Post reported.
"Tourists can dial us to leave
their names and contact information so we can organize tours for them as soon as
we are given approval," said Chen Suiqin, manager with the outbound department
of Shanghai China Travel Service.
Since there are as yet no direct flights
across the Taiwan Strait, mainland tourists will first fly to Hong Kong or
Macau. As a result, more passengers are expected on those air routes, said an
industry analyst.
Many airlines said that they still have enough capacity,
but will possibly add flights if necessary.
