Cross-Strait Mini Three Links to Carry 56,270 Passengers Over National Day Holiday

The Mini Three Links are a narrow gauge for cross-strait civilian exchange, so a nearly 30% year-on-year jump in expected holiday traffic points to a real recovery in people-to-people movement rather than a purely seasonal bump. That matters most for the ferry operators and port services on the Fujian side, which must absorb a concentrated peak with limited capacity. Whether the holiday surge reflects durable demand or just a compressed travel window is the open question.
