Taiwan, Jiangsu to ink tourism quality assurance agreement

The government of Changshu in China's Jiangsu province and five Taiwanese tourism associations are expected to sign an agreement on travel service quality assurance Tuesday.

The agreement will be signed during a workshop on tourism exchanges to be held in Taipei, said Lin Tsung-min, an executive at a local travel agency that arranged the visit of an official 59-member Changshu delegation and more than 500 tourists from the city.

The group of tourists is the first visiting Taiwan under an initiative proposed last year by Liang Baohua, the head of Jiangsu province, that Taiwan and Jiangsu each send 100,000 tourists to the other side in 2010.
