Up until now Taiwan has only allowed 500 Chinese people to visit Taiwan per day. This article is about Taiwan's decision to double the quota and allow 1000 mainland Chinese travelers to visit Taiwan per day. Right now Chinese travelers are allowed to come in groups and only travelers from Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen are allowed to travel individually. The article also said "from April 28, residents from Chinese cities of Tianjin, Chongqing, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu will also be allowed to travel to Taiwan not in tour groups."
This is a good move for Taiwan. I don't know the background and I'm not sure why Taiwan would limit tourism but this will definitely boost tourism and revenue for Taiwan.
