The Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration of the Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Coast Administration) held the second "Greater Northeast Coast Tourism Circle" 2025 site visit and matchmaking event on August 26, 2025. 37 inbound travel agencies were invited to conduct on-site visits and physical matchmaking meetings to promote face-to-face exchanges between travel agencies and local operators, explore in-depth cooperation possibilities, enhance the integration of regional tourism products, and jointly promote and introduce international tourists to deeply experience New Taipei City's unique bases. The morning's first stop was Jingtong Carbon Field Coffee, a converted coal washing plant with a century-old history. The building retains the rugged atmosphere of mining relics, blended with the aroma of coffee, presenting a unique experience of "cultural regeneration" and "slow travel aesthetics." The operators were deeply impressed by the potential of tourism experiences that combine industrial history and culture. Afterwards, we visited Shenkeng Old Street to savor the traditional flavors of century-old tofu culture and participate in a DIY tofu-making experience, from grinding to molding, allowing participants to experience the craftsmanship and story of Shenkeng tofu firsthand. A matchmaking event was held at the Courtyard by Marriott Nangang in the afternoon, inviting several representative businesses from the Greater Northeast Coast tourism area, including the Pingxi Sky Lantern Garden, the Fullon Hotel Fulong Branch, Shiding Xu's Noodle Shop, the New Taipei City Taste Gongliao Creation Association, Starry Sky Arts Village, Hehe Village, the Jingtong Community Development Association, the Sandiaojiao Cultural Development Association, the Yilan Cultural Arts Park, Xingyuan Tea Garden, the Shiding District Tourism Development Association, and Xianwu Honpo. The event was lively, showcasing their unique products and services. Travel agency representatives expressed high praise for the cultural heritage and product diversity displayed by local businesses, and many of them exchanged contact information and actively discussed future collaborations. Participating travel agency operators said that the itinerary content combines cultural, culinary and interactive experiences, especially the industrial heritage atmosphere of Jingtong Carbon Field Coffee and the hands-on participation of tofu DIY, both of which have the potential to be promoted to source markets such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau. At the same time, through matchmaking meetings, they can directly get to know local brands and shorten the cooperation negotiation process, which is extremely helpful for product design and itinerary planning. Director You Liyu of the Northeast Corner Administration Office stated that, continuing the achievements of previous years' guidance, this year's "Greater Northeast Corner Tourism Circle" has held a number of site visits and matchmaking meetings to promote it to inbound travel agencies, facilitating substantive exchanges between local businesses and travel agencies in the Greater Northeast Corner Tourism Circle. In the future, the Administration will continue to work with the industry to create development opportunities for the Greater Northeast Corner Tourism Circle, attracting more international tourists to explore the local culture and natural scenery of the Northeast Corner in depth.
