$54 million are set aside to boost tourism as the industry recovers after the April 3 earthquake.

Visitors going on self-guided tours to Taiwan’s Hualien and Taitung counties can expect to receive accommodation and transport subsidies.

Those on self-guided tours to Taitung in south-east Taiwan can get NT$1,000 per room if they check in to their accommodation from Monday to Thursday, the ministry added. To qualify for the subsidies, each tour group must have more than 20 travellers, and visit for at least two days with one overnight stay. There can only be one weekend day or public holiday included in the travel period.
