The lucky draw for individual visitors from overseas with prizes of NT$5.000 (US$163) has been dubbed “Taiwan the Lucky Land,” Transportation Minister Wang Kwo-tsai said Saturday (April 29).
Beginning from Monday (May 1) at noon, a total of 500,000 foreign tourists will be chosen by the draw to receive the money either in the form of a pre-payment card or as vouchers. The action lasts until June 30, 2025, and was designed to help achieve the government’s aim of drawing 6 million visitors to Taiwan during 2023.
Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the country drew an average of 11 million visitors per year. The figure for this year until April 28 reached 1.55 million so far.
Wang visited Taoyuan International Airport Saturday to present the latest details about the scheme and talk to foreign visitors arriving in Taiwan, with one traveler reportedly already winning the NT$5,000 during a tryout.
He said the numbers of potential winners and the duration of the program could be adjusted depending on its popularity and on changing circumstances. Tour groups will also be eligible for subsidies of NT$10,000 or NT$20,000 depending on their size.
台灣將推出旅遊補貼計劃“台灣福地”
交通部部長王國才週六（4 月 29 日）表示，面向海外個人遊客的幸運抽獎被稱為“台灣幸運之地”，獎金為新台幣 5.000 元（163 美元）。
從周一（5月1日）中午開始，將抽取共計50萬名外國遊客，以預付卡或代金券的形式領取這筆錢。 該行動將持續到 2025 年 6 月 30 日，旨在幫助實現政府在 2023 年吸引 600 萬遊客到台灣的目標。
在 COVID-19 大流行開始之前，該國平均每年吸引 1100 萬遊客。 截至今年4月28日，這一數字達到了155萬。
週六，王到訪桃園國際機場，介紹該計劃的最新細節，並與抵達台灣的外國遊客交談，據報導，一名旅客已經在試用期間贏得了新台幣 5,000 元。
他說，潛在獲獎者的數量和項目的持續時間可以根據其受歡迎程度和不斷變化的情況進行調整。 旅行團也將有資格獲得新台幣10,000或20,000新台幣的補貼，具體視其規模而定。
