New Taipei City Government Tourism and Travel Department Press Release 114.2.10
New Taipei Receives Top Honors in Hospitality Assessment Strengthening Safety and Enhancing Quality in Lodging
 

  【New Taipei City News】 The New Taipei City Government has been recognized by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications’ Tourism Administration in the annual "Local Government Hospitality Industry Management and Guidance Performance Evaluation." In 2024, New Taipei demonstrated outstanding achievements in managing the hospitality sector, effectively cracking down on illegal lodging, safeguarding guest rights, and aligning with national policies, earning the highest distinction of "Excellence" in this year’s assessment.
 

New Taipei City’s Tourism and Travel Department Director, Yang Tsung-Min, emphasized that the city will continue to align with national policies by promoting personal data protection, reducing single-use amenities, implementing energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, and strengthening consumer protection. Additionally, New Taipei remains committed to assisting the hospitality industry in establishing "Excellent Hotels" and "Charming B&Bs." More details on these accommodations can be found in the e-book Check In: Your Second Home – New Taipei’s Quality Lodging+.
 

Furthermore, New Taipei City is taking firm action against illegal lodging. Many short-term rental apartments operate within residential buildings without public liability insurance, and they fail to comply with building regulations and fire safety laws. Such establishments also contribute to security concerns and disturbances for neighboring residents. The city reiterates that any illegal short-term rentals found in violation will be severely fined according to the Tourism Development Act and relevant regulations, with zero tolerance for illegal operations.
 

Moving forward, New Taipei City will continue its efforts to manage and support the hospitality sector, ensuring that every visitor enjoys a safe and comfortable travel experience. Travelers can explore recommended accommodations on the New Taipei City Travel Website and New Taipei Traveler Facebook page. Additionally, the New Taipei City Travel Website offers a search function to find "Excellent Hotels" and "Charming B&Bs," while the Taiwan Stay website provides listings of legally certified accommodations in New Taipei. To ensure a secure stay, visitors are reminded to check for prominently displayed "Hotel Registration Certificates," "B&B Registration Certificates," and official lodging signs before booking. Choosing legal accommodations guarantees a safe and enjoyable trip.
 

Lastly, the New Taipei Hot Spring Festival is in full swing, featuring a special stamp collection event where participants have a chance to win round-trip tickets to Osaka, Japan!
