Taiwan is stepping up efforts to attract Indian travellers, positioning itself as a premium destination for leisure, business and MICE travel.

The outreach began with a Taiwan Tourism Workshop in New Delhi, attended by more than 100 travel trade professionals and media representatives. Officials presented Taiwan’s high-end leisure experiences, strong infrastructure for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE), and customised travel options tailored for Indian visitors.
The delegation then took part in the Outbound Travel Mart (OTM) in Mumbai, one of South Asia’s largest travel trade exhibitions. Through business meetings, cultural showcases and interactive displays, Taiwan highlighted its appeal as a safe and efficient Asian destination.
Officials emphasised Taiwan’s low crime rate, reliable public transport and high hospitality standards. These factors are seen as especially attractive to solo women travellers and high-value tourists seeking comfort and security.
Speaking in New Delhi, Dr Mumin Chen, Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India, invited Indians to explore Taiwan’s mix of modern cities and natural beauty. From mountain ranges and forests to dramatic coastlines, Taiwan offers varied landscapes within a compact and easily accessible area.
