Culture plays a monumental role in helping to understanding among peoples. Another important effort to achieving understanding is tourism. The 11th Travel Industry's Sodality across Taiwan Straits opened Monday in the scenic southern city of Guilin. 900 insiders from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan gathered in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region to promote more travel across the straits.

Travellers from Taiwan are the main tourism market in Guangxi. Nearly 5 million tourists from Taiwan have visited Guangxi since 1988. About 450 thousand from Taiwan visited last year. That's a fifth of the total number of tourists to Guangxi. The two-day event is co-organized by the Association of Communication Across Taiwan Straits on Tourism and the top six travel agencies in Taiwan.
