A highlight of the event was the lucky draw, where attendees had the chance to win flight tickets to Taiwan, adding excitement and anticipation to the event. Additionally, the “Accelerated and Expanded Inbound Tourism Promotion Program” was introduced, offering incentives to both independent and group travelers visiting Taiwan.

According to survey results, Filipino tourists have expressed a strong preference for certain attractions in Taiwan, including the iconic Taipei 101, the magnificent National Taichung Theater, and the breathtaking scenery of Sixty Stone Mountain in Hualien, adorned with vibrant orange day lilies.

The growing popularity of Taiwan among Filipino travelers can be attributed to several factors. Taiwan offers visa-free entry for Filipino visitors for up to 14 days until July 31st, 2024. With a short travel time of only 2 hours from Manila to Taipei, Taiwan has become an accessible and desirable destination for quick getaways and longer vacations.
