Taiwan's tourism economy aims to exceed 5 trillion yen by 2030
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has announced new goals for the growth of the tourism industry. The Taiwanese government aims to increase the economic ripple effect of tourism to over 5 trillion yen by 2030.
President Lai stated that Taiwan possesses beautiful scenery, a rich culture, and delicious cuisine. Furthermore, he emphasized that the most important attraction of Taiwan's tourism is its "people," noting that a warm spirit of hospitality is a key element in drawing in tourists.
Currently, Taiwan welcomes many foreign tourists, and it is one of the countries that receives a very large number of travelers from Japan. To achieve this new goal, the government plans to strengthen the development of tourism infrastructure and activities to convey the charm of local regions to more people.
Taiwan is a familiar travel destination for Japan, and it is expected that exchanges between the two countries through tourism will continue to deepen. Attention is now focused on how Taiwan's tourism industry will develop under the government's new plan.
