According to statistics from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Tourism Administration, the number of Japanese tourists visiting Taiwan last year recovered to nearly 70% of 2019 levels. To continue attracting tourists, the Tourism Administration is planning a reward program for repeat visitors. Foreign tourists who visit Taiwan again can receive travel discounts of up to NT$8,000. The Tourism Administration stated today (17th) that to attract tourists, it is planning to launch an international tourist repeat visit incentive program. Eligible travelers can receive travel discounts of up to NT$8,000, and will continue to promote incentive measures for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism to encourage international travelers to revisit Taiwan for in-depth tours and business activities. The Tourism Administration pointed out that the NT$8,000 is for all foreign tourists. Repeat visitors can receive a NT$5,000 travel discount, while their companions can receive NT$3,000. According to Tourism Administration statistics, in 2025, Japanese tourists visiting Taiwan reached 1.48 million, an increase of over 12% compared to the previous year, recovering to nearly 70% of the pre-pandemic level in 2019, indicating that Japan remains one of Taiwan's important source markets. Director-General of the Tourism Administration, Ms. Chen Yu-hsiu, also recently met with Mr. Kuniharu Ebina, Chairman of the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA), and Mr. Jun Sakai, Chairman of Hankyu Travel International, to solicit more Japanese tourists to visit Taiwan. The Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA) announced on June 16th the launch of the "Motto! Kaigai e (Go Overseas)" promotional campaign. In conjunction with the reduction of Japanese passport fees starting July 1st, it encourages more Japanese citizens to travel abroad. The Tourism Administration stated that it hopes to further increase the willingness of Japanese tourists to visit Taiwan through the combined benefits of favorable outbound travel policies in Japan and preferential measures in Taiwan.
