KINMEN, April 28 (CNA) – China recently announced the resumption of travel for Shanghai residents to Kinmen and Matsu. A Shanghai survey group today engaged with Kinmen tourism operators. Kinmen operators stated that Shanghai is an important cruise homeport in mainland China, and Xiamen is also developing its cruise industry. They proposed that Kinmen could become an extension node for cruise itineraries in the future.
The China Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced on February 4 this year that mainland China would soon resume travel for Shanghai residents to Kinmen and Matsu. An 11-member delegation from the Shanghai Tourism Industry Association arrived in Kinmen yesterday. Today, in addition to visiting attractions such as Chen Jinglan Mansion, they also held a 'Shanghai-Kinmen Tourism Exchange Seminar' with the Kinmen County Travel Commercial Association this afternoon.
According to news materials from the Kinmen County Government Tourism Department, the seminar focused on tourism issues such as 'creating a Shanghai-Xiamen-Kinmen tourism brand' and 'joint marketing and promotion,' hoping to integrate resources from Shanghai, Xiamen, and Kinmen to create another peak for the 'Mini-Three Links' tourism.
According to the press release, Weng Bingxin, chairman of the Kinmen County Travel Commercial Association, pointed out that the 'Mini-Three Links' have gradually resumed normal operations. In the future, Kinmen travel operators can target the Shanghai tourism market, focusing on 'activity tourism,' 'corporate team building,' and 'elderly health and wellness' to create high-quality tourism products.
Weng Bingxin also stated that with Shanghai serving as an important cruise homeport in mainland China and Xiamen actively developing its cruise industry, Kinmen can be promoted as an extension node for cruise itineraries. By combining 'cruise + Mini-Three Links' extended trips and leveraging mainland China's '240-hour transit visa-free' policy for foreigners, products can be packaged and customers attracted.
The Kinmen County Tourism Department announced that it would also successively organize Kinmen tourism operators to visit Shanghai to hold tourism promotion meetings and participate in tourism exhibitions in mainland China, hoping to collaborate with Shanghai tourism partners to market Kinmen's tourism charm.
