中新社北京5月20日电 (李百加 朱贺)国务院台办发言人朱凤莲20日在北京答复中新社提问时表示，对于恢复上海居民赴金门、马祖旅游及金门方面的积极反响，我们乐见其成。
“这充分显示了两岸同胞特别是金门乡亲，对两岸人员往来正常化和交流合作常态化的热切期盼。”朱凤莲在当天举行的国台办例行新闻发布会上说。
上海市文旅局日前公告上海居民可申请赴金马旅游，首批游客已赴金游览并返回。台媒称当地旅游业迎来“春燕”，金门县政府表示将积极拓展大陆旅游市场。
朱凤莲表示，将采取积极措施，支持、鼓励两岸民间加强互动交往。
她还呼吁台湾有关方面应顺应民意，正视岛内旅游业界和民众的呼声，尽快解除不合理禁限，推动两岸旅游交流恢复正常。
东方航空、春秋航空、山东航空拟自今年7月起分别恢复开通成都至台中、宁波至高雄、青岛至台中直航航线。朱凤莲表示，这些是大陆航空公司积极响应两岸民众需求的具体措施，是便利两岸人员往来和促进两岸交流合作的好事，“我们大力支持”。
她表示，希望台湾方面顺应民意，尽快恢复乌鲁木齐、西安、哈尔滨、昆明、兰州等城市两岸航班，进而全面取消对两岸航空运输的不合理限制，由两岸航空公司根据市场需求自主安排航班计划。
关于近日发布的“闽台入境福建旅游线路”等措施，朱凤莲认为，这些举措“有温度、有力度”，不仅让台湾同胞特别是第一次来大陆的台湾乡亲在福建感受“家”的亲切，也通过实实在在的优惠便利，让他们获得更好的文旅体验，正是“两岸一家亲、闽台亲上亲”的生动体现。(完)
