Because of a continuing decline of tourist arrivals in Taiwan the bureau intends to reduce the target of next year’s “Double Tourism Plan” by 4 million with an expected loss of NT$10 billion (US$310 million) to NT$20 billion for the local tourism industry. Those who frequently travel abroad may have already noticed that Taiwan does not exist on the world tourism map. Western travel agencies provide packages to South Korea Japan Thailand and other Asian countries but not Taiwan. Tourists are not interested in Taiwan and well-known hotel chains such as the Marriott have established themselves in Beijing and Shanghai but not here. The Hilton chain with 2800 locations worldwide pulled out of Taiwan several years ago. What is the problem? f course promotions must be reinforced but not only by employing Yankee pitcher Wang Chien-ming (¤?i or boy music group F4 as spokespersons. Although a well-known tourism magazine in the US recently announced that Taiwan’s scenery is beautiful do we really believe that we have such a beautiful island? Who would come here just to see the National Palace Museum Taipei 101 Taroko National Park or to taste night market delicacies? ur public facilities are just third-world standard while our natural environment cannot compare with that of Thailand or Malaysia… Those who frequently travel abroad may have already noticed that Taiwan does not exist on the world tourism map.
