The future of the tourist hotel industry in Taiwan looks
bright with some key developments. The opening to
international flights of four key city airports, Sungshan
Airport in Taipei, Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai, Haneda
Airport in Tokyo, and Kimpo Airport in Seoul, is expected to
continue to drive tourist arrivals to Taiwan. The gradual
recovery of the global economy and the normalisation of
relations between Taiwan and mainland China will also be
beneficial to Taiwan’s tourism industry, with the
prohibition on FIT travel to Taiwan by mainland Chinese
tourists soon to be lifted. The government itself has given
importance to the development of the country’s tourist
industry, allocating approximately US$1.018 billion for the
implementation of the Taiwan Tourism Development Plan. |
