Beyond Relief Packages, a Chance for Taiwan to Transform into a Tourism Hub
In early April, in preparation for the financial crisis that may come in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tsai Ing-wen administration promised to expand the government’s economic relief package to NT$1.05 trillion. However, Minister of Transportation and Communications Lin Chia-lung observes that: “Giving away money will never be enough; the key is how to increase our global competitiveness.” He says that, after the pandemic has passed, Taiwan can use its success against the virus as a foundation for it to transform into a major tourism hub. Visitors around the world will come to Taiwan, secure in the knowledge that this is a safe place for tourism and investment.
