Taiwan Tourism Administration launched its upgraded tourism brand, "Taiwan – Waves of Wonder," at Seatrade Cruise Global

This year, the Taiwan Pavilion featured interactive exhibits with videos, activities, and guided presentations, demonstrating Taiwan's transformation toward a tourism model centered on sustainability, innovation, and immersive experiences. The exhibition also highlighted Taiwan's growth potential as a key emerging player in the Asian cruise market, offering attendees a firsthand experience of its rich cultural diversity, commitment to sustainable tourism, and exciting events year-round.

Ben Yi-Chen Huang, Director of the International Affairs Division of the Taiwan Tourism Administration, stated: "Under our newly refreshed brand, Taiwan – Waves of Wonder, we are actively promoting Taiwan as a destination of scenic beauty, rich culture, and sustainable development. With convenient inland transportation, cruise passengers can easily reach major cities and attractions right after disembarking—exploring natural landscapes, diverse cultural heritage, and world-renowned cuisine. As global travel trends shift post-pandemic, Taiwan is embracing low-carbon and sustainable tourism practices. Beyond implementing green port concepts, we are committed to developing eco-friendly tourism destinations. With international platforms like Seatrade Cruise Global, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary, we aim to strengthen partnerships with global cruise lines and industry stakeholders, promote Taiwan's diverse tourism offerings and incentive measures, and invite more travelers to experience Taiwan's unique charm."

Charles Chih-Yu Chou, Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Miami, added: "Taiwan is blessed with stunning natural scenery, vibrant festivals, rich traditions, and warm hospitality. Its strategic location makes it a must-visit stop on Asian cruise itineraries. We warmly welcome global travelers to discover Taiwan's local charm through cruise experiences."

Taiwan's cruise development strategy focuses on attracting multi-port itineraries and fly-cruise travelers from markets such as Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, while also actively expanding into long-haul markets like the United States, Europe, and Oceania. Centrally located in Asia, Taiwan offers culturally enriching and sustainability-oriented cruise routes across the region.

Taiwan International Ports Corporation has also accelerated upgrades to Taiwan's port infrastructure in recent years. Facilities at Keelung Port's east and west terminals and Kaohsiung Port have been continuously enhanced to accommodate larger vessels. E-gate clearance systems are being upgraded to improve the speed and convenience of passenger processing—delivering a better experience for international cruise visitors.
