Since the launch of the “Taiwan the Lucky Land” event in 2023, Taiwan’s Tourism Bureau has successfully attracted over 5 million international travelers to participate in the lucky draw, once again proving Taiwan’s strong appeal as an international tourist destination! This event is specially designed for foreign independent travelers, who only need to register their passport and relevant information before entering the country to have a chance to win electronic vouchers worth NT$5,000, which can be used for transportation, accommodation, shopping, and various expenses during their stay in Taiwan, allowing travelers to explore Taiwan limitlessly.
The event has set up prize collection points at international airports in Taoyuan, Songshan, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and many others, attracting travelers from around the world to participate enthusiastically, further boosting the number of independent travelers to Taiwan, making Taiwan a must-visit destination in 2025.
In parallel, Taiwan’s Tourism Bureau has actively launched a variety of exclusive offers, aiming to attract more North American tourists to explore the beautiful scenery of the island. Among them, there is a special promotion offering “Buy One Get One Free” for international travelers on the Taiwan High-Speed Rail, not only providing great value for tickets but also allowing independent travelers to explore southern Taiwan in an easy and convenient way.
