cross-Strait airfares by 10 to 15 percent to boost tourism.
In another move boosting cross-Strait tourism, mainland authorities will build four new airports and renovate four others in the West Strait Economic District -- a mainland region close to Taiwan covering 21 cities and several southeast provinces -- Li said at the weeklong second Straits Forum being held in the mainland's southeastern coastal city of Xiamen.
Li also said cross-Strait flight numbers will be increased to 420 times per week from the current 380 times per week.
