As summer approaches, the Miaoli County Government is offering group travel subsidies to stimulate tourism in Hualien, providing up to 1000 yuan per person for groups of 20 or more visiting the area. In addition, the Ministry of Culture has launched the 'Hualien Exclusive Cultural Currency,' offering young people visiting Hualien the opportunity to receive double the usual cultural currency. Many whale watching operators are also offering discounts in line with this policy, with the whale watching season currently in full swing. The government has already distributed 1.2 million cultural currency points to over 867,000 youth, totaling over 930 million yuan in usage, but around 100,000 people have yet to claim their points, with the deadline being June 30. By verifying at Hualien art and cultural consumption locations, visitors can now receive an additional 1200 points, equivalent to allowing two people to go whale watching for free. The Ministry of Culture has already budgeted a minimum of 20 million yuan for this initiative, with the provision for additional support if needed. Miaoli is also planning its own 'Miaoli Group Travel to Hualien Subsidy Program' starting in July, offering 1000 yuan per person to groups of 20 or more. With the peak travel season of summer upon us, various entities are rolling out Hualien discounts to revitalize domestic tourism morale.
