The 2024 Taipei Summer Travel Expo opened Friday at Exhibition Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center.
A total of 155 Chinese mainland representatives from local culture and tourism departments and enterprises are participating in the event, forming the largest exchange group to Taiwan from the mainland since COVID-19.
They have taken up 75 exhibition booths to promote the diverse tourism resources of 12 provinces, including Anhui, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The number of visits of Taiwan compatriots to the mainland in 2023 rose by 7.4 times year on year, illustrating the shared cultural affinity between the two sides of the Strait, said He Jie, an official of the Association for Tourism Exchange Across the Taiwan Straits, at the opening ceremony.
She expressed hope that more Taiwan residents would proceed from the expo and visit the mainland to experience its infinite charm.
The event is jointly organized by the Association for Tourism Exchange Across the Taiwan Straits and the Taiwan Tourism Interchange Association, and will conclude on July 15.
