Kenting counting on summer crowd to boost businessBy Crystal Hsu / Staff reporter, in Pingtung CountyRestaurants, shops and hotels in Pingtung County’s Kenting (墾丁) have seen tourists returning and are looking at stronger business prospects as the summer vacation draws nearer. People check out street vendors on Kenting Main Street in Pingtung County on May 23. Business is likely to gain more traction next month, when schools close for the summer vacation — a high season for Kenting, Ho said. A 32-year-old proprietor of a shop selling beach clothing and sandals on Kenting Street said the area has almost recovered to pre-pandemic levels on weekends — judging by the size of the crowds. However, business has yet to pick up for transportation service providers, which rely more on international tourists.
