Original title: Taipei Tourism Show AR travel to mainland China Ren Jiayan: Travel is possible after the lockdown is lifted

The largest tourism exhibition since the epidemic, "2020 Taipei Summer Travel Show" will be held at Taipei World Trade Center from July 17 to July 20 The Taipei office of the Cross-Strait Tourism Exchange Association also participated in the exhibition. Ren Jiayan, director of the office, said that the purpose of participating in the exhibition is to leave an impression of mainland tourism in the minds of Taiwanese people. In the future, after the cross-strait blockade is lifted, people will have the goal of traveling to the mainland.

Ren Jiayan revealed that this is the largest travel exhibition after the epidemic, and the association hopes to seize this opportunity in time. According to data, there have been about 220,000 visitors in the past few days, and the materials prepared by the association are also very popular. "More than a thousand boxes of travel information have been distributed." Taiwanese people are very enthusiastic about taking AR photos, and there are even long queues on weekends. The

Overseas Travel Association office has set up an exhibition area to prepare a wealth of tourism information for Taiwanese people, including tourist attractions, routes, transportation, maps, humanities and history of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in mainland China. In addition, there is an AR somatosensory interactive photo area and an cycling and experience area, allowing viewers to "travel around the mainland". In addition, the LED multimedia display stage, product sales area, etc. comprehensively display the mainland's beautiful landscapes, intangible cultural heritage , folk festivals, and folk customs.

Ren Jiayan said that cross-strait tourism has developed over a long period of time and has become a boost for cross-strait people-to-people exchanges. Although the epidemic has caused cross-strait tourism to press the pause button. But as a tourism promotion, we still hope to have a continuous feeling in the hearts of Taiwanese people. "Even though there is an epidemic, we still want to promote it." This time, through the concept of "traveling in the mainland", we use technology such as AR photography or dynamic videos to let the public know that when cross-strait tourism is opened in the future, they can have goals.

Ren Jiayan pointed out that after choosing the beautiful scenery of mainland world heritage sites in the AR experience and leaving photos and impressions, she will want to go there after the ban is lifted. Therefore, the main target market this time is different from Taiwan’s intra-island tourism. Due to the failure to lift the ban, intra-island tourism has become the main force of Taiwan's tourism industry. The Cross-Strait Tourism Exchange Association promotes mainland tourism resources and injects new itineraries into the hearts of Taiwanese people, such as high-speed rail travel. It uses high-speed rail travel to cooperate with local travel agency products to give the public an impression that they can take action after the ban is lifted in the future. .
