Following the overturn of the Alishan train five years ago, 6 deaths and 45 injuries to domestic tourists, and six years ago, the collapse of the Suhua Highway caused the tour bus to fall into the sea, killing 20 domestic tourists and injuring 20 domestic tourists, today it is reported that 26 domestic tourists were in a highway tour bus accident in Taiwan, and were seriously injured.
According to Apple Daily, a 129.3-kilometer section of Zhongshan Expressway went north, and an accident occurred after a domestic tourist tour bus collided with a sand and gravel vehicle. Miaoli County Fire Department reportedly dispatched several ambulances to the scene, among which the Taiwanese driver Huang Jintang was thrown to the shoulder of the road, and there was no sign of life on the spot.
In fact, Taiwan's tourism industry opened up for tourists to Taiwan in July 2008 and experienced unprecedented prosperity. Since the opening of mainland tourism, it showed negative growth in the second quarter of 2011, the second quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year. The number of domestic tourists traveling to Taiwan has declined, and the income of vendors in tourist areas has also been affected.
After all, Taiwan has limited tourism resources, and an accident in a tour bus is worth thinking about it again, and look back on the four things that domestic tourists have changed Taiwan in the past few years.
Tour buses run everywhere
After domestic tourists go to Taiwan, the number of visitors continues to grow significantly, driving tourism business opportunities. Tour buses have become a tool for domestic tourists to transport. Tour buses run everywhere, which often causes tour buses to hinder the main roads of the business district. In addition, the masters who specialize in domestic tourists traveling around the country are very tired. Some driving even takes more than 10 hours to work every day, and there is a big "driving shortage" in Taiwan. It is impossible to find a driving tour bus that has been in possession of a "big bus license" for more than 3 years, and the potential threat of accidents, which are potential problems.
Attractions are all people
From north to south, Yeliu, Building 101, the National Father Memorial Hall, Forbidden City, Lugang, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Kenting, Hua East Coast, major night markets and old streets in Taiwan. Because there are too many domestic tourists, local tourists slowly stop going to many places in order to avoid those attractions.
The more you build the hotel, the more you build the hotel and the more you build the hotel and B&B in Taiwan, there are more than 8,300 general hotels and B&Bs in Taiwan. In 2013, Taiwan continued to grow at an astonishing speed of adding 2 hotels or B&Bs throughout the day. The more you build the hotel, the more you build the hotel, but it also caused many problems. Taking Taitung as an example, in order to increase the number of tourists, the originally beautiful coast did not hesitate to destroy the green forest scenery on the coast, and an orange-roofed hotel suddenly appeared. However, due to the roar of protests from residents, it was never opened. In addition, the more hotels and homestays are built, it also causes the hidden concerns of oversupply.
There are pineapple crisps everywhere
In recent years, the number of domestic tourists and Asian tourists visiting Taiwan has set new highs. In addition to enjoying famous attractions, plundering "trophies" is also a key itinerary. Taiwan’s well-known gift cake shops often come in long queues, such as pineapple pastry and sun cakes, which are souvenirs that tourists must take away. Therefore, the number of shops selling pineapple pastry and cakes in Taiwan has doubled. The economic output value of pineapple pastry alone creates for Taiwan every year exceeds NT$25 billion, and it is still increasing!
