A lot of people think South Korea is boring…The number of foreign tourists in Taiwan is still miserably low. Internet exposure reveals the biggest key

Life Center/Huang Sheng Report

After about three years of raging COVID-19, countries have gradually lifted strict border control measures, which has also given rise to hope for recovery in the global tourism industry. However, the PTT “Gossiping” gossip has recently sparked discussion. Many people find it boring after traveling to South Korea. However, according to statistics from the South Korea Tourism Organization, South Korea will have 11.03 million foreign tourists in 2023, far more than Taiwan’s 6.48 million. Netizens can’t help but I’m curious and want to ask, “South Korea is so boring, why does it still have more foreign tourists than Taiwan?”

The original PO of the discussion thread complained, “I don’t know what I’m talking about. I usually say that South Korea is super boring and that visiting it once in a lifetime is enough. But it turns out that we are the most boring place in Asia and foreigners don’t want to visit it once in their lifetime?” . In addition, some netizens listed the comparison of “number of foreign tourist visits”. In 2019, Japan was 31.88 million, and in 2023 it was 25.06 million; in South Korea, it was 17.5 million in 2019, and in 2023 it was 11.03 million; in Taiwan, it was 11.84 million in 2019, and in 2023 it was 11.84 million. to 6.48 million.

Not only does Taiwan’s total number of tourists lag behind Japan and South Korea, but its recovery status before and after the epidemic is also at the bottom, with Japan’s 78.6%, South Korea’s 63.0%, and Taiwan’s 54.7%. “Anyone who has been to Japan knows that in addition to beautiful sightseeing, In addition to resources, there are also a bunch of transportation plans that offer preferential services to foreign tourists. In recent years, South Korea has been actively building itself into a shopping paradise, making tax refunds more favorable and convenient. In terms of transportation, it has also piloted a real-time translation function in Seoul, allowing foreign tourists to speak their native language. Communication; as for what measures Taiwan has in place to facilitate foreign tourists visiting, please ask the villagers to add more.”

Netizens have expressed their opinions on this, “Korea has European dads, what does Taiwan have?”, “Mainly cultural export. If you have a lot of publicity, people will naturally want to watch it. Movies, animations, and albums will all have an impact, just like Hawaii.”, “Korea is very special in the field of Korean food”, “Taiwan has no plan whatsoever”, “Korea is really boring, but the international travel service is even worse”, “Taiwan only has the crude one-thousand-and-one tricks” : Money-spraying subsidy”, “Taiwan’s accommodation has the lowest CP value”.
