Taiwan Tourism Bureau caters to different tourists' needs and partners with quality local travel tour operators to provide customized travel packages. These tour products feature the Bureau's “Time for Taiwan” 6 major tourism themes, bringing tourists exciting experiences of Taiwanese culture, LOHAS, shopping, gourmet foods, ecological systems, and intoxicating romantic scenery. They are also designed along 4 major events such as the Taiwan Lantern Festival, Taiwan Summer Solstice 235, Taiwan Cycling Festival, and Taiwan Hot Spring & Fine-Cuisine Carnival. Backpackers make the best use of the Tour Taiwan Facebook fan page and online travel agencies to plan their travels utilizing the “Taiwan Tourism Events” calendar or app, Taiwan Tour Bus, Taiwan Fun Cards and Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Bus services. The goal is to make Taiwan a fun, convenient and friendly tourist destination."

Event goers enjoyed the authentic bubble milk tea and pineapple pastry at the Taiwan Pavilion, received limited edition hand crafted Monkey lanterns giveaway, and met the Taiwan Oh!Bear as well as taking pictures with the giant Xiao Long Bao display!
