The travel industry is facing a 'ground zero' disaster, highlighting the need for bipartisan efforts to quickly propose special budgets to help them. Despite current political tensions, the government must prioritize assisting earthquake-affected travel businesses, a difficult yet crucial task for Taiwan's economy and stability. The recent Hualien earthquake severely impacted key tourist spots, leading to a significant decrease in tourist numbers and overall tourism sector challenges. Urgent emergency assistance plans for affected businesses, lifting the ban on Taiwanese tourist groups to China, opening up to Chinese tourist groups, and intensifying marketing efforts towards diversified tourism are crucial steps to save the struggling travel industry during this unprecedented crisis.
