"Industry" Tourism Bureau Expands Domestic Travel Warm Winter Campaign, Accommodation Discounts for Independent Travelers Apply Nationwide
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Tourism Bureau announced that the expanded "Domestic Travel Warm Winter Campaign" to be implemented in January next year, taking into account the participation expectations from various local sectors and respecting the resolution of the Legislative Yuan's Transportation Committee, has decided to include Taipei City, Taoyuan City, and Hsinchu City in the independent travel accommodation incentive program. It is expected to invest an additional NT$320 million, increasing room occupancy by 250,000 nights, which could attract around 500,000 more visitors. The Tourism Bureau’s expanded "Domestic Travel Warm Winter Campaign" mainly considers that over 90% of domestic trips taken by Taiwanese are day trips. To encourage deeper, local travel experiences, the campaign has expanded to include counties and cities with an average three-year hotel occupancy rate below 50%, and provides additional subsidies for the 60-and-over senior group, those under 30, and families traveling with children. The expanded "Domestic Travel Warm Winter Campaign" offers a subsidy of NT$1,000 per room for those participating in national domestic tour groups or traveling independently (Sunday to Thursday) and staying in hotels in 19 counties and cities in January next year. For the senior group (60+), as well as those under 30 and families, the subsidy is increased to NT$1,500 per room.
