Since 2004, the Tourism Bureau has been working with travel agencies to launch the "Taiwan Tourist Bus," taking visitors to explore 26 unique scenic spots across Taiwan, such as Yilan, Northeast Coast, Yehliu, Yingge, Taichung, Lukang, Sun Moon Lake, Penghu, Kaohsiung, Kenting, and Taroko, among others. In addition to daily departures, it offers one-day and half-day tour services from transportation hubs and hotels to famous tourist attractions nationwide. Travelers can enjoy low minimum group sizes (some tours require as few as two people), hotel, airport, and station pick-up and drop-off services, as well as guided tours in Chinese, English, and Japanese. To date, over 900,000 people have taken the bus, with more than 50% of riders being international visitors.

To encourage locals, especially seniors, to take the tourist buses, the Tourism Bureau has launched the “Active Seniors, Go Happy” campaign from today (October 1) to November 15. Travelers aged 65 and above who sign up for a “Taiwan Tourist Bus” tour together can enjoy a 20% discount. They can also join the “Ride the Taiwan Tourist Bus, Win Prizes” event, with a chance to take home various gifts.
