The participants at the Cross-Straits Economic and Trade Forum advocated in Beijing on Saturday healthy and orderly tourist cooperation across the Taiwan Straits.

It's the common expectation of the compatriots across the Straits to allow the mainland tourists to visit Taiwan, promote the personnel exchanges across the Straits and boost the economy across the Straits, according to the participants.

Allowing the mainland tourists to visit Taiwan will help boom the tourist and service industries in Taiwan and stabilize and rejuvenate the economy in Taiwan, said the participants.

They advise the mainland issue the management measures for the mainland tourists to visit Taiwan, and the Taiwan authorities should approve negotiation activities between unofficial Taiwan tourist organizations and the mainland-based association for tourist exchanges across the Taiwan Straits.

The two-day forum ended Saturday at Beijing and the participants provided advice on the development of the cross-Straits relations in the future.

The forum focused on cross-Straits trade and economic affairs and establishing direct transportation links between the mainland and Taiwan.
