In response to the anticipated influx of tourists during the nine-day Lunar New Year holiday, Taitung County Government has formulated relevant transportation and tourism service measures. For visitors coming to Taitung for their vacation, the government has also introduced eight “lucky” benefit policies, namely: “Spring Festival operations continue as usual, with more diverse services,” “Shuttle buses to take you around Taitung, ensuring smooth travel throughout the holiday,” “Transparent information for well-planned trips,” “Taxi carpooling to save your wallet,” “Extra Spring Festival benefits: no worries about downtown parking,” “Stay at licensed accommodations during the Spring Festival for a fun family trip,” “Stamp your souvenir card for fun memories and extra perks,” and “Your travel spending is protected—no need to worry if you run into trouble.”

Among these eight “lucky” (benefit) measures, in addition to extending the operating hours of the tourist service center (February 9 to February 17, 08:00–18:00) and increasing the availability of vacant accommodation inquiries, they also include specific initiatives such as Spring Festival tourist shuttle buses, provision of traffic and road control information, taxi carpooling, temporary free parking areas, information on licensed accommodation providers, lucky souvenir cards, and consumer protection. Taitung County Magistrate Huang Jian-ting stated that during this year’s Spring Festival, Taitung will host events such as the “New Year’s Gifts and Kids’ Fun – 2013 Lunar New Year Celebration” at Nanjing Road Square in Taitung City, as well as flower sea appreciation activities organized by four farmers' associations. These are perfect for family outings and experiences. The measures include transparent information, disclosure of local traffic details, package itinerary planning, and clear regulations for local accommodation providers. Tourists and residents are encouraged to voice any concerns or file reports. For more details, please visit: tour.taitung.gov.tw/ch/index.aspx.
