The Taiwan authorities suddenly changed the policy on group travel to the mainland, causing the industry to lament. Ma Ying-jeou: The biggest problem is that the authorities never communicate.

The industry on the island is lamenting that "I am afraid that they will lose their jobs after the year" The DPP authorities should abide by their pre-election promise and allow Taiwanese group tourists to travel to mainland in March, says Lai Zhengyi. At the end of last year, various travel agencies had already begun to promote and attract group tourists and almost 3% of the tours are already fully booked.
