According to MICE industry insiders, there is a huge potential demand from visitors brought by the addition of the eight mainland cities to the FIT scheme. They are all provincial capital cities, namely, Taiyuan in Shanxi Province, Hohhot in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Harbin in Heilongjiang Province, Lhasa in Xizang Autonomous Region, Lanzhou in Gansu Province, Xining in Qinghai Province, Yinchuan in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and Urumqi in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. In addition, as the cities lately added to the FIT scheme this time are far away from Macao, it is believed that there will be more overnight visitors in Macao, who can gain deeper experiences and understanding of Macao\u2019s economic development, facilitating the development of Macao\u2019s tourism, hotel, convention, exhibition and trade industries and related industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Immigration Administration announced today (11) that the State Council had approved the addition of eight mainland cities
