A ‘Birthday Voucher’ program offers 1,000 monthly winners a NT$1,200 accommodation subsidy. Other domestic incentives include amusement park stay discounts, corporate employee travel grants, and Taiwan PASS options.

International marketing efforts include incentives for returning travelers, such as consumption credits of up to NT$5,000 for independent travelers or group grants ranging from NT$10,000 to NT$30,000. Additional measures target incentive travel for foreign corporations and travelers attending international conferences or exhibitions, providing free tours and Taiwan PASS high-speed rail options.
