TEMPO.COBeijing - China will stop issuing individual travel permits for Taiwan to people in 47 mainland cities from Aug. 1, its culture and tourism ministry said on Wednesday, July 31, citing the state of ties with the self-ruled island, but gave no details.

People from the mainland need permission to travel to what Beijing regards as a renegade province. Only travelers from 47 cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen, were allowed to visit Taiwan independently.

Mainland travelers with permits issued before Thursday can follow the original itinerary, but after that date, tourists can only go in groups, said China International Travel Service (CITS), a major mainland tour operator.

"We're aware of the suspension," said another operator, Shanghai Spring International Travel Service. "Today is the last day to apply for the permit as individuals."

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council expressed its stern protest and condemnation of the move to China.

"The mainland authorities unilaterally destroyed the agreement without communication with our side," the panel said in a statement.

"We are not delighted to see the normal tourism and exchange across the Strait were disrupted by political factors."

In recent years, China has stepped up military drills around Taiwan, including regularly flying what Beijing calls "island encirclement" exercises and sending warships into surrounding waters.
