New Taipei City Camping Site Guidance Program Launched - First Information Session Held in San-Ying
[New Taipei City News] As camping continues to grow in popularity among citizens seeking a leisurely lifestyle, the New Taipei City Government will hold five information sessions starting at the end of September to help current and prospective camping site operators obtain legal certification. The first session will be held on Thursday, September 26, at 9:00 AM at the Sanxia District Office conference room (No. 17, Zhongshan Road, Sanxia District, New Taipei City). All interested operators are welcome to attend.
In 2022, the Ministry of Transportation issued guidelines and related documents for the management of camping sites to assist operators in obtaining legal approval. The New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department has secured funding from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Tourism Bureau to hold these information sessions, aiming to increase operators' awareness of the application process for camping site permits. On-site guidance will be provided to promote the legalization of camping sites in New Taipei City. Representatives from relevant departments and professional technicians will be invited to share their expertise and address any questions. Those wishing to attend can fill out the registration form via the attached link or call the hotline at 0800-035270.
Yang Tsung-Ming, Director of the New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department, stated that the government will work alongside operators to assist them in completing their legal applications. He expressed gratitude to the camping site operators for their hard work in New Taipei, a city rich in tourism resources. Through these on-site sessions, the department hopes to help operators offer quality services and create natural spaces for the public to enjoy, allowing people to immerse themselves in New Taipei’s abundant natural resources.
To promote legal camping site applications, the New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department has already formulated standard operating procedures based on the Ministry of Transportation's guidelines, including the use of "non-urban land for agricultural or forestry purposes for camping facilities" and the "application for the establishment of camping sites." The goal is to foster a safe and sustainable camping market that meets public demand. Relevant forms can be downloaded from the "New Taipei City Government e-Service Cloud - Traffic and Tourism Section," item 22, "Use of Non-Urban Agricultural and Forestry Land for Camping Facilities," and item 23, "Application for the Establishment of Camping Sites."
