President Tsai Ing-wen said Taiwan received its 11.11 millionth visitor last week, making it a record year for tourist arrivals. She said the milestone was a testament to her tourism strategy over the past three years, which has enabled Taiwan to diversify away from Chinese tourists. She said that despite a drop in Chinese individual tourists, Taiwan has welcomed an increasing number of travelers from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. The president attended the opening ceremony of a national tourism policy conference. She said that although tourism from China fell in the past three years, Taiwan had over 11.11 million visitors this year.Tsai Ing-wenPresidentWe have indeed changed the structure of our tourist supply, from 44% Chinese tourists to the 24% of today. But the overall number of tourists hasn’t decreased. In fact, it has gone up. We are continuing to open up new markets and sources of visitors.Tsai said the adjustments have weaned Taiwan’s tourism off its reliance on China. Tsai also addressed the KMT’s reaction to a new DPP campaign video, which showed people in Kaohsiung writing apology letters to Taiwan. Tsai said the video’s message was not that Kaohsiung should apologize for how it voted in 2018.Tsai Ing-wenPresidentI actually want to say, the people of Kaohsiung did not let anyone down. The people of Kaohsiung don’t owe anyone anything. That we did badly in the elections last year is a fact. We disappointed our supporters and we disappointed the people of Kaohsiung. The ones who have let Kaohsiung down are the people who can’t or aren’t willing to fulfill their promises.With the election in its final countdown, the DPP has no room for error whether it’s with promoting its accomplishments or creating political ads to win over the public.
