On July 9, 2024, Nationalist Party Plains Indigenous Legislator Huang Jen expressed concerns about the rights of Taitung's indigenous peoples and actively advocated for them in the Legislative Yuan. Following the major disruption caused by the 0403 Hualien earthquake, which greatly affected the tourism industry in both Hualien and Taitung, Huang Jen urged the Ministry of Transportation during a committee meeting on June 28 to provide accommodation subsidies similar to those in Hualien to revitalize and stimulate tourism in Taitung. In response, the Ministry of Transportation announced that individual travelers in Taitung will receive a subsidy of NT$1,000 per person per night starting from August 1, and group tours will be rewarded with up to NT$15,000 per tour starting from July 1 until September 30. The Ministry is also implementing various incentives for East Taiwan travel operators to boost tourism in the region.
