[New Taipei City] The 2024 ITF Taipei International Travel Fair kicks off on November 1 at the Nangang Exhibition Center in Taipei. During the event, numerous hotel and lodging operators will offer discounted accommodation vouchers both on-site and online, providing an opportunity for consumers to save on travel costs. To ensure that these vouchers comply with the standardized terms and conditions for gift vouchers, several lodging providers in New Taipei City have proactively submitted their vouchers to the New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department and consumer protection officials for preliminary review. This measure ensures compliance with relevant standards, thereby safeguarding consumer rights.
Director Yang Tsung-Min of the New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department emphasized that accommodation vouchers are valuable ticket items sold by lodging operators, and consumers should that the contents of the voucher meet the required contract specifications before purchasing. Consumers are advised to avoid purchasing vouchers from unknown sources to prevent potential future disputes without recourse. Furthermore, while the initial review of the vouchers is conducted voluntarily by the operators, the New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department and consumer protection officers will conduct spot checks at the event to prevent non-compliant vouchers from being sold.
Consumers wishing to purchase discounted vouchers that meet the necessary contract standards during the event can refer to the list of vendors compiled by the New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department. This list includes operators whose vouchers have been reviewed and verified to comply with contract requirements, allowing consumers to make informed purchases quickly during the event.

For nearby attractions, food, and sightseeing information, please visit the "New Taipei City Tourism Website" and the "New Taipei Traveler" Facebook page.
