Central Taiwan Tourism Alliance Promotes Nantou in Seoul to Attract Korean Visitors

According to a report by Central News Agency journalist Wu Che-hao from Nantou on the 13th, a joint tourism promotion delegation from the four counties of Taichung, Changhua, Nantou, and Miaoli has arrived in Seoul, South Korea, to promote tourism in central Taiwan. The Nantou County Government stated that Nantou boasts internationally renowned attractions such as Sun Moon Lake, as well as cultural assets like tea and hot springs, and aims to deepen cooperation with Korea's tourism industry through this event to enhance Nantou's visibility in the Korean market.

The Nantou County Government released a press statement today, explaining that together with the Taichung City Government, Changhua County Government, and Miaoli County Government, they formed the 'Chung-Chang-Tou-Miao' joint marketing delegation. The group held a tourism promotion event in Seoul, South Korea, and visited local tourism-related agencies and travel operators.

Lin Hsiu-mei, Deputy Director of the Nantou County Government's Tourism Department, noted that with the increasing number of direct flights from Taichung International Airport to Korea, exchanges between central Taiwan and Korea have become increasingly vibrant. This has even attracted Korean television networks to film travel programs in Nantou. Korea remains a vital international tourism market for Taiwan, with the number of Korean visitors to Taiwan continuing to grow steadily.

Lin emphasized that Nantou is home to internationally recognized attractions such as Sun Moon Lake, Cingjing, and Xitou, along with diverse tourism features including tea culture and hot springs. She expressed hope that through this promotional event and industry exchanges, cooperation with Korea's tourism sector can be deepened, thereby enhancing Nantou's brand visibility in the Korean market.

The Tourism Department of the Nantou County Government stated that it will continue to expand into international markets through overseas promotions, international travel expos, media campaigns, and industry exchanges. It aims to actively attract international tourists, elevate Nantou's global tourism brand recognition, and build Nantou into an international tourism destination centered on sustainable tourism—integrating natural ecology, cultural heritage, and high-quality tourism services—so that more overseas travelers can discover and fall in love with Nantou.
