A group of 25 Japanese tour operators is to arrive in Taiwan on Sunday next week for a four-day tour, as Taiwan prepares to reopen its borders amid signs that the COVID-19 pandemic is easing, Ministry of Transportation and Communications sources said yesterday.
It would be the first group of foreign nationals to enter Taiwan for tourism-related purposes since foreign tourist arrivals were banned on March 19, 2020.
The tour operators are to visit the Taipei 101 skyscraper, New Taipei City’s Jiufen (九份), Keelung’s Heping Island Park (和平島公園) and other sites in the city, including the former site of a kimono store
