To encourage domestic tourists to stay overnight during weekdays and to precisely attract high-spending overseas tourists, thereby expanding domestic and international tourism to Taiwan, stimulating domestic and international tourism spending, and boosting economic growth, the Tourism Administration has launched the "Tourism Dual-Wheel Drive Plan." The budget was just passed by the Legislative Yuan on August 14, 2026, and will be implemented gradually starting September 1, 2026! This plan involves a total investment of NT$3.33 billion and includes nine measures: "Weekday Domestic Travel Discounts" and "Strengthening International Tourism." Full details are now available! The "Weekday Accommodation" and "Birthday Vouchers" will be open for online registration starting August 20th!
Weekday domestic travel discounts—encouraging 3-day, 2-night trips on weekdays for a deeper experience of the quality of domestic travel.
Weekday accommodation (during implementation period: September 1, 2015 - November 30, 2016):
(1) For stays at participating legal accommodations on weekdays (Sunday to Thursday, excluding national holidays and their consecutive holidays), each person can receive a maximum of 2 nights' accommodation credit. For general areas, the maximum credit is NT$800 for the first night and NT$1,200 for the second night; for outlying islands, the maximum credit is NT$1,000 for the first night and NT$1,500 for the second night (the two nights can be spent in different areas or at different accommodations, but the dates must be consecutive. Users who do not stay consecutively on the second night are considered to have voluntarily forfeited the credit for the second night). The incentive program ends on November 30, 2026. If the incentive budget is exhausted, the Tourism Bureau may announce the deadline in advance.
(2) The registration of personal information by the public is only for the purpose of creating a file and does not guarantee that the traveler will receive the discount. Travelers must present their ID card or health insurance card (choose one) when they actually check in so that the accommodation operator can verify that the traveler is the person checking in before they can apply the accommodation subsidy discount according to the regulations.
Birthday Voucher (valid from September 10th to December 31st, 2015): 1,000 birthday celebrants will be randomly selected each month to receive a NT$1,200 accommodation voucher. The "Birthday Voucher" and "Weekday Accommodation" vouchers can be used together.
Amusement Park Overnight Stay (Effective period: 115.9.1-11.30): Earn discounts by using weekday accommodations. Log in to receive park points based on the discount amount, which can be redeemed for tickets and related merchandise.
Taiwan PASS Dual-Saving Program (Effective period: 115.9.1-12.31): Purchase the Taiwan PASS Taiwan Railway Edition (NT$2,500) and choose between a 50% discount on the original price (saving NT$1,250 on the ticket price) or a NT$1,500 weekday accommodation voucher (saving NT$1,500 on accommodation). The voucher can be used in conjunction with the "Weekday Accommodation" and "Birthday Voucher".
Company Employee Travel Incentive (Implementation Period: September 1, 2015 - December 15, 2016): Companies that organize 2-day, 1-night employee trips will receive a travel incentive of RMB 20,000 per company per group, with a maximum application limit of RMB 60,000.
Strengthening international tourism momentum—targeting repeat visits, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions), incentive travel, and fan visits to Taiwan.
Enhanced benefits for repeat international travelers (implementation period: October 10, 2026 - March 31, 2027): Online registration will open at 10:00 AM (Taiwan time) on October 1, 2026, applicable to repeat international travelers who entered Taiwan on or after October 10, 2026. (Repeat travelers are defined as international travelers who entered Taiwan on or after January 1, 2023).
(1) Independent travel: Travelers who have been to Taiwan before have the opportunity to receive a stored value of NT$5,000. Those who bring companions to Taiwan can receive up to NT$8,000 (NT$5,000 for the winning repeat traveler + NT$3,000 for the accompanying family and friends).
(2) Group tours: Group tours of 4 or more people, with repeat tourists accounting for more than 10% of the group, will receive a subsidy amount ranging from RMB 10,000 to RMB 30,000 depending on the number of people in each group.
Additional incentives for international tourists (implementation period: 115.10.10-116.3.31): For overseas companies or legal entities that organize incentive tours to Taiwan, in addition to existing subsidies (applications must be submitted at least 15 days before the entry date, and in advance if it falls on a national holiday), if they stay in legal accommodations south of Taichung, Hualien and Taitung or outlying islands, they will receive an additional subsidy of NT$1,000 per person per night, up to a maximum of NT$4,000 per trip.
International travelers attending international conferences and exhibitions can enjoy complimentary half-day or full-day tours on the Taiwan sightseeing bus and the Taiwan PASS High Speed Rail version (effective from September 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017).
Support for international benchmark concerts: By bringing international benchmark performing arts events to Taiwan, we can enhance Taiwan's competitiveness as a destination for large-scale events.
For details on each activity, please see the summary. For more information, please visit the Tourism Administration website (Ministry of Transportation and Communications) > Theme Zone > Tourism Dual-Drive Program starting at 11:00 AM on August 20, 2026.
Early bird registration for "Weekday Accommodation" and "Birthday Vouchers" rewards begins August 20th.
To help Taiwanese citizens plan their trips in advance, the Tourism Administration has specially arranged two activities: "Weekday Accommodation Subsidy" and "Birthday Voucher Subsidy." Starting at 11:00 AM on August 20, 2026, Taiwanese citizens can register their personal information based on the last digit of their ID card number. They can also log in to the activity section on the accommodation website to check the list of participating accommodation companies and booking platforms, the activity Q&A rules, and the operators' preferential schemes.
For the weekday accommodation subsidy program, registration is required to use the voucher starting September 1st. For the birthday voucher subsidy program, registration is open until 5 PM on September 8th for a chance to win a birthday voucher. The Tourism Bureau will open the process for the public to check their winnings starting at 11 AM on September 9th (Wednesday). Winning travelers can use the voucher for weekday stays from September 10th to December 31st, 2026.
Each person is limited to participating in the weekday accommodation and birthday voucher incentive programs once per ID number, and each incentive program can only be used once per room per night. For example, if two guests share a room, even if both are eligible for the weekday accommodation incentive and birthday voucher, only one weekday accommodation incentive and one birthday voucher can be redeemed per room per night (not limited to the same person, but guests eligible for the incentives must actually check in).
The Tourism Bureau reminds businesses to fully disclose accommodation rates and not to raise prices due to incentive programs. Businesses should also proactively disclose information regarding whether incentive discounts can be combined with their own promotional schemes to avoid misunderstandings and consumer disputes. If members of the public discover that businesses are indeed inflating prices, they can report it to the municipal or county government with evidence. If the report is verified, the business's right to participate in this activity will be terminated and its eligibility for the activity will be revoked. For consumer disputes, assistance can be obtained from local government consumer protection agencies.
