今日のテキスト SOURCES: CHINA LIMITS TRAVELERS TO TAIWAN

Sources in China's tourism industry say China is restricting the number of its outbound travelers to Taiwan. The move follows the election of a Taiwanese president from the Democratic Progressive Party, which Beijing sees as favoring independence.
The sources told NHK that authorities instructed travel agents around February to cut down on the available applications for permits to visit Taiwan. Taiwan issues the permits, but China can limit the people allowed to visit by controlling the number of applications that travel agencies handle.
Last year, more than four million Chinese visitors to Taiwan spent over five billion dollars at tourism-related businesses. Taiwanese media have reported that over the May Day holidays, visitors from the mainland plunged by 30 percent from the year before.
