Experts' Views: Wait for Eastern Taiwan to Recover Travel, Hopes for Summer Rebound

Reported 11 months ago

Experts believe that due to natural disasters such as earthquakes affecting Eastern Taiwan, it will take at least half a year for tourism to recover in the region. While international travel has increased significantly in the past two years, leading to a decline in domestic tourism, experts predict that domestic travel will rebound during the summer, potentially reaching 30-40% of last year's levels. With other countries like Japan and South Korea quickly recovering tourism due to improved infrastructure during the pandemic, Taiwan's slower recovery is attributed to lack of preparation and the sudden disappearance of 2 million Chinese tourists. Despite the recent cold spell in Eastern Taiwan, experts believe that with the upcoming summer holidays, tourism may see a resurgence.
