Taiwan is a popular travel destination in Asia with a majority of visitors from Greater China and North Asia, however, the government decided to close the border in early 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, Taiwan successfully managed the COVID situation in 2020 and the island maintained a 'zero-COVID' policy.

During the course of the pandemic, the local hotel market faced many changes and challenges similar to the global hospitality industry. In these testing times we seek for opportunities to prepare for the new normal in the market.

The unprecedented decline in visitor arrivals to Taiwan caused drastic changes in hotel RevPAR performance under the pandemic, and domestic demand suddenly became critical to hotels.

The article highlights top performers in the hotel market amid the changes posed by COVID-19 and analyses factors of success behind these properties.

Additionally, it dives into current and future supply in the hotel market and evaluates the potential of hot spring tourism, as it gains popularity among domestic travelers.
