Minister of Transportation and Communications Lin Chia-lung announces the plan for the second phase of “disease prevention tourism” at a national travel and tourism congress in Taipei yesterday. Feedback from industry representatives about the tours would also help enhance the quality of domestic tours, he said. The center has approved disease prevention guidelines for domestic tours proposed by the ministry, which companies and schools could use as a reference when they organize trips for employees and graduates, he added. “Businesses could throw in additional bonuses if consumers use vouchers to pay for the tours or other services,” Lin said. Chen said that he endorses the government’s promotion of domestic tourism, because Taiwan is a safe place to travel.
