INTRODUCTION
Taiwan is considered as a nation within East Asia and is officially the Republic of China.
The respective country is known for the lush forests as well as the steep mountains and is an
amazing island which is popular because of unique cultural factors and its history. The country
also has a democratic system that is impacted by the United Kingdom and the West. As the
economy of the country has grown, both the inbound as well as outbound tourism for the
pleasure as well as business have extended (Altin and et.al., 2018). Taiwan has become the ninth
largest tourist receiving nation within the Asia. The nation offers itself as a destination for
amazing national parks, mountains, great beaches, valleys and even inactive volcanoes. It has
such kind of natural beauty through which different major film productions take benefits of its
beautiful scenery. The below essay will describe Taiwan country and its tourism policies,

MAIN BODY
Tourism policy is defined as a set of decisions, practices as well as discourses that are
driven by the political system of a country. These are sometimes driven in collaboration with the
social or private actors in order meet diverse goals in context to tourism. The greatest purpose of
tourism policy is to compound the political, economic, cultural as well as intellectual advantages
of the tourism adhesive with the public, countries and destination for improving the quality of
life at global level and also gives a foundation for the prosperity and the peace (International
Tourism Policy, 2022).
The Tourism Volume and Economic Value states that in 2019, the contribution of
tourism to GDP for Taiwan, Province of China, was 4.4% (Taiwan Province of China, 2022).
The economy of the country has recognised as an export-oriented economy. However, the
tourism industry may be considered as the other major factor that is contributing to the economic
growth of Taiwan. According to the annual statistics of Tourism in the year 2002, it has been
reported that the tourism receipts of Taiwan accounted for the 4.2% of the GDP in the year 1996.
This statistical figure has exceeded the contribution of the primary sector, that is, agricultural
sector to the Gross Domestic Product, thereby considering tourism as one of the major industries
within Taiwan (Tourism expansion and economic development, 2022). The government of the

respective country has noticed later a significant role of the expansion of tourism within the
economic development and is curious to foster the tourism at the international levels. For making
sure the successful execution of DTAP, the TDPC, namely, Tourism Development and
Promotion Committee was developed and improved and along with it the Premier of Taiwan has
been designated as its convener (Tourism Expansion and Economic Development, 2022).
Although the tourism industry has grown significantly in Taiwan, tourism researchers have not
paid much attention to the empirical assessment of contributions of the tourism sector to
Taiwan's economy.
As per Taiwan's Tourism Administration, the funding as well as governance of tourism
industry within the Taiwan is controlled by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau which is considered as

international tourism activities from the year 2010 to 2019 were around 14.32 billions US
Dollars that were earned from the global tourism in the country. It was approximately 0.67
billions US Dollars more in comparison to the previous year (Revenue from International
Tourism in Taiwan, 2022).
