By Crystal Hsu / Staff reporterRestaurant operator Toplus Global Co (御頂國際集團) has signed a deal to lease basement space at the former site of the Westin Taipei (台北威斯汀六福皇宮) and turn it into banquet facilities. Toplus Global holds a different view and aims to open banquet rooms that can seat 110 tables priced at NT$14,000 (US$465) each on weekdays and NT$18,000 at weekends, the Chinese-language Commercial Times reported yesterday. Toplus Global operates three Ding Xian outlets and eight wedding halls nationwide. Japanese have become the largest source of tourist arrivals since September last year, after Beijing in August imposed a ban on independent tourists visiting Taiwan, lending support to the strategy, Toplus Global said. Toplus Global declined to elaborate on the rent, which the report said would be NT$1.5 million to NT$1.8 million a month.
