President-elect Lai Ching-te continues on his two-month tour of Taiwan’s various industries. On Friday, Lai met with representatives from travel companies and startups. The key focus of the meeting was finding ways to develop Taiwan’s brand in the tourism sector, as well as using digital technologies in the industry. Let’s hear from him.

Lai Ching-te
President-elect
Taiwan should become a tourism powerhouse. People should see Taiwan, fall in love with Taiwan, and talk to others about Taiwan. My idea is to make tourism a key issue for the central government. That’s the only way that tourism promotion can go ahead smoothly.

Chen Ming-ming
Online travel company
During his speech, Vice President Lai kept mentioning that Taiwan should build up its tourism industry. I think that’s a great direction to go in.

Chen Ting-kuan
Travel platform
Digital platforms allow tourists the right to choose how they want to travel. They can pick what they want to do and where they want to go using an app. If we work on the South Korean and Japanese markets, we can also export Taiwan’s digital products.

Lai laid out a vision to develop Taiwan’s tourism sector through combining resources from across Taiwan. He also hopes to boost the tourism startup scene by working together with entrepreneurs to put Taiwan on the map.
