Taiwan's "border" will be lifted from today (13th), and the ban on tour will be lifted. The travel industry will resume the reception of international tourists to Taiwan for sightseeing, but Hong Kong, Macao and mainland groups will be excluded. Wang Genshen, executive director and vice president of the Taiwan Business District Industry Tourism Development Federation and president of the Taoyuan Business District Industry Federation, said in an interview with the Hong Kong China Review News Agency that the "border" unlocking should not be selective, and business behavior cannot be considered based on political and geographical factors. The economy means that everyone's money is money, and you have to make money if you find a way. You can think about the sentence "people can come in and goods can be exported" over and over again.
Taiwan's "border" has been unblocked from the 13th. There are about 20 overseas tour groups coming to Taiwan, with up to 5 groups in Thailand. There are also Tokyo, Seoul, Vietnam, Malaysia , Singapore , a total of more than 20 groups and about 244 participating passengers. The "first outbound group" is to go to Malaysia. Passengers will take Taiwan's " China Airlines " CI731 flight, and take off from Taoyuan Airport at 8:10 to Penang, Malaysia, and start a 4-day and 3-night tour.
Wang Genshen said, will the "border" be lifted to welcome international tourists? It remains to be seen. The reason is that Taiwan has been 5 million tourists to Japan in the past, but has not left the country for more than two years. They have consumed in Taiwan, driving the development of business districts. Now the border is open. Before the epidemic, the number of Japanese tourists coming to Taiwan was at most 2 million. The outbound consumption is greater than the inbound tourist consumption. Inbound tourists are mainly concentrated in Taipei City, and may not directly enter the business districts of various counties and cities. Taoyuan is located at the airport. Overseas tourists may not actually be willing to stay in Taoyuan to spend, which means they cannot earn international tourists. Money,
He said that business districts should strive for tourists, of course they must be self-reliant and self-reliant and try every means to find the characteristics to retain customers. Otherwise, all major attractions in Taiwan are almost the same, and the goods they buy in the old streets are the same, and they will not be attractive after a long time. When you come to the Charming Golden Triangle, you will go through the foreign story museum, which is not a high-consumption place, but a commoner economy. Seeing different scenery is not easy to copy, so you are naturally curious about discussing and sharing. These are "copy versions".
Wang Genshen said that in the past two years of the epidemic, restricting in-store dining has hit the operators a lot. Now the overall epidemic prevention has improved, and consumption has gradually returned. Come and eat meters dry food is crowded. To develop the business district, it still depends on art, stories, architectural aesthetics or architectural characteristics, which can easily attract customers to the door. Business districts cannot rely solely on the government to stimulate consumption, business districts themselves must awaken themselves, and business districts cannot cut prices and competition. The lowering of quality is likely to turn into a single sightseeing and one-time consumption, and the business district cannot continue to expand.
He said that in the past two years of the epidemic, many stores have barely operated, relying on subsidies. No matter what party ruled, it is the same. After taking office, the governance was immediate, and it was spent on a large amount of money to carry out face-saving projects and try to sprinkle coins and subsidies. It is like sprinkling beautiful petals into the water, which are very brilliant. As the water drifts, it will disappear. It takes time to see the results of infrastructure construction, and it is not easy to please. In addition, the fund allocation method is that there are many business districts in counties and cities, and each place allocates the same money, and can only make a little effect. The tourism industry has become quite fragile.
Wang Genshen observed that when traveling to Taiwan, it is not easy to see urban aesthetics, only iron culture, many activities are imitation, not plagiarism, but mutual cases for public relations companies. As long as the case can be finalized, it is fine. It is not necessary to get creative and exciting. After the balloon arches seen at the event site are almost the same, the event will naturally end and will not come again next time, and it will be a one-time consumption.
He said that the border was lifted and the travel industry was restored to receive overseas tourists to Taiwan for sightseeing, but Hong Kong, Macao and mainland groups were excluded, and this logic was wrong. There should not be selective. Commercial behavior cannot be considered based on political and geographical factors. It must be considered with commercial behavior. No matter where it comes, I hope that it will help economic development after coming to Taiwan. When tourists come, they will also bring money here to spend.
Wang Genshen said, quoting the former Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu quoted the famous saying "People can come in, goods can be exported". You can think about this sentence repeatedly now.I don’t want your money, and it doesn’t make sense if my money is earned. In fact, there is no need to divide the color of tourism. No matter who has money, it’s money. Find a way to stay in Taiwan.
