Taiwan’s iconic retail outlet, Tapei 101 (pictured), expects Chinese visitors to contribute 25% of total sales as travel restrictions ease between the island state and mainland China. Last year, Chinese visitors contributed 10% of total sales worth US$34.6 million.
Spokesman for Taipei 101, Michael Liu, expects this figure to rise substantially as Chinese visitors become the biggest source of international tourists to the city
Speaking to AFP, Liu expects a surge in numbers after a ban on individual travel by Chinese nationals was lifted last month.
