Taiwan’s tourism sector is anticipating a significant boost in outbound travel to Japan, following Japan’s announcement to ease its travel restrictions. On October 11, Japan will resume visa-free entry for individual travelers and lift its daily entry cap, a move that has already spurred a surge in bookings among Taiwanese travel agencies.
Following the announcement, major travel agencies in Taiwan reported an immediate increase in inquiries and reservations for tours to Japan. One agency quickly saw more than 900 people book an 8-day group tour to Hokkaido. Another travel company confirmed that nearly 1,000 customers had already purchased packages to Japan, with expectations that approximately 2,000 more customers would buy packages in the near future. Five-day group tours to Japan’s Kansai region are being offered within a price range of about NT$60,000 to NT$70,000.
This expected boom comes after an extended period of stringent travel limitations, and the Taiwanese tourism industry is gearing up for a strong resurgence in travel to Japan.
