New Taipei Promotes Tourism in Thailand – Showcasing the Ji-North, Bei-North, and Tao-North Regional Tours
 

  [New Taipei City] The New Taipei City Government's Tourism and Travel Department held a tourism promotion event yesterday (6th) in Bangkok, Thailand. Collaborating with local hospitality businesses, they showcased the tourism attractions of New Taipei City to Thai tourism industry professionals. The delegation also visited key organizations such as the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand, the Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA), and the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce in Thailand, aiming to attract more Thai outbound tourists to New Taipei City.
 

  In addition to promoting internationally renowned events such as the New Taipei City Christmasland, the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival, and the 2025 Taipei and New Taipei World Masters Games, the department emphasized local specialties and delicacies to appeal to the preferences of Thai tourists. Featured prominently on a 3-meter-high welcome wall in an eye-catching illustrated style were iconic foods like Tamsui A-gei (stuffed tofu), Jiufen taro balls, Wanli crabs, Shimen rice dumplings, Sanxia horn croissants, and Wulai Indigenous bamboo rice. Popular local souvenirs such as Pinglin baozhong tea egg rolls, Sanxia biluochun tea leaves, and Yingge ceramic tea sets also garnered attention from Thai industry professionals. Director Yang Tsung-Ming noted that over 180,000 Thai tourists visited Taiwan as of May this year, placing Thailand third in Southeast Asia after Malaysia and the Philippines. Following a promotion in Malaysia this past May, New Taipei aims to ramp up efforts to attract even more Thai visitors through the Bangkok event.
 

  New Taipei also promoted regional tours covering Ji-North, Bei-North, and Tao-North (Keelung, New Taipei, Taipei, and Taoyuan) and distributed promotional materials for Taipei and Taoyuan. Director Yang emphasized that the collaboration platform between the four cities is well-established and mutually beneficial for the entire northern Taiwan tourism market. This initiative follows the success of the joint promotion event in South Korea this July, and further collaboration between the cities is expected in the future.
 

  During this visit, the New Taipei delegation also met with representatives from the Tourism Bureau's Bangkok office, who had recently completed three Taiwan free travel seminars in August. They shared their insights on expanding the backpacker market in Thailand with New Taipei. Additionally, the delegation met with the TTAA and the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce in Thailand to further bolster group tour customer sources.
