To stimulate domestic tourism, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has introduced a spring travel subsidy. From March to the end of April, anyone staying at a legally registered accommodation within New Taipei City can show valid proof (such as an accommodation booking or room key) to visit New Taipei City museums for free. These include the Pinglin Tea Industry Museum, Yingge Ceramics Museum, Tamsui Historic Museum, and the DIY experience courses at Fuzhong 15 Animation Story Museum.

In addition, visitors holding the “North, North, Base Fun Card” can enjoy special offers and great discounts at the Tamsui Historic Museum, Sanxia 13 Layers Museum, Lin Ben Yuan Garden, the Sanzhi Veterans' Village Cultural Park (Air Force Sanzhi No. 1 Village), and the New Taipei City Gold Museum.

Currently, efforts are also being made to collaborate with managed accommodations and travel agencies to package national travel itineraries, along with planning related subsidy and discount measures. Proposals will be submitted to the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in accordance with schedules to secure subsidies and attract more tourists to visit New Taipei City.
