Taiwanese Tourists Face Risks Amid China Travel Ban

BCC News Taiwan Taipei 15d15d Impact 5

A Taiwanese police chief and his family traveled to Gansu Province, China, on an electric vehicle, raising questions about violations of the ban on group tours. Taiwan's government is reportedly considering lifting the ban on mainland Chinese tour groups. Taiwan's government continues to prohibit tourist groups from traveling to mainland China, despite some individuals traveling under the guise of 'free travel.' A recent traffic accident involving a group in Gansu highlighted the risks and lack of guaranteed insurance or emergency measures for Taiwanese citizens. A Taiwanese legislator expressed concern that the government's continued ban on group tours to mainland China creates a gray area for 'flexible tours.' These tours, often presented as independent travel, can lead to accidents without adequate insurance or emergency support for Taiwanese citizens.
