Domestic travel agencies began to receive bookings for Taiwan tours. However, for the time being not all mainland tourists can enjoy the tours.
Ctrip, the country's leading online travel agency, has signed an agreement with ezTravel, Taiwan's largest tourist website, to promote tourism to Taiwan, today's Youth Post reported. More than ten itineraries with people traveling on their own are available on Ctrip.com.
Ctrip has received more than 30 calls concerning the itineraries. The tours, ranging from six to ten days will allow tourists to live in at least four-star hotels and enjoy famous scenic spots there, with the highest price no more than 18,000 yuan (US$2,168).
"Such tours are operated well by the ezTravel and we have improved them based on the interests and habits of mainland tourists," said Yang Tao, a spokesman with Ctrip.
However, the trips are not open to all tourists. Tourists have to hand the required documents to Taiwan by themselves and children are not allowed to book the tours for the time being. It is hard to handle such certificates for children, an industry analyst explained.
