On the first day of the long weekend, an estimated 5,000 visitors headed to Green Island and Orchid Island, with ferries from Taitung to the islands operating at full capacity, catering mostly to young tourists and families. Taitung County government and operators hope for a continued boost in tourism, leading into the peak summer season. Despite a recent cyberattack on the ticketing system, the morning ferries were completely full, with even tourists opting for luxury yachts. With approximately 5,000 visitors expected via different routes, including air travel, the tourism sector on the outlying islands seems to be recovering, although Taitung city itself still awaits an uptick in tourist activity.
