The future of the tourist hotel industry in Taiwan looks bright with some key developments.

The opening to international flights of four key city airports, Sungshan Airport in Taipei, Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai, Haneda Airport in Tokyo, and Kimpo Airport in Seoul, is expected to continue to drive tourist arrivals to Taiwan.

The gradual recovery of the global economy and the normalisation of relations between Taiwan and mainland China will also be beneficial to Taiwan's tourism industry, with the prohibition on FIT travel to Taiwan by mainland Chinese tourists soon to be lifted.

The government itself has given importance to the development of the country's tourist industry, allocating approximately US$1.018 billion for the implementation of the Taiwan Tourism Development Plan.
