The Taiwan Tourism Administration (TTA) has announced an accelerated and expanded tourism promotion program that will benefit Canadian travel agencies working with Taiwanese tourism businesses. The program provides incentives to support group travel to Taiwan for non-Taiwanese tourists. Eligible groups must stay at least three days and two nights in Taiwan, with travel dates through June 30, 2025. Incentive amounts are determined based on group size and length of stay, with bonuses for longer itineraries and visits to specific regions.
For groups of 4 to 7 people: up to NT$10,000 (≈ CA$425)
Groups of 8 to 49 people: up to NT$30,000 (≈ CA$1,285)
Groups of 50 people or more: up to NT$50,000 (≈ CA$2,140)
Additional bonuses are also available for groups visiting the scenic areas of Hualien and Taitung, reinforcing Taiwan's commitment to promoting tourism in less-traveled areas.
Canadian travel agencies sending non-Taiwanese tourists to Taiwan can partner with a Taiwanese tourism company, which will assist them with the booking process. Applications must be submitted at least three working days before the group's departure. Once approved, 60% of the grant will be returned to the Canadian travel agency that organized the group, ensuring smooth collaboration between Canadian partners and Taiwan's tourism industry.
