enjoy using a new type of smart mobile device that handles electronic ticketing, e-wallet payments, credit card payments, etc, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) said in a news release on Friday.
Anyone visiting the Dongdamen Night Market, one of Hualien’s best-known tourist attractions, may have noticed that many of the shops and restaurants have started using the new type of smart mobile device, with which consumers can complete their purchase transactions with just one click, and can shop at the night market without having to carry any cash with them, according to the ministry.
A further advantage is that shop and restaurant owners at the night market won’t have to handle money, which is better from a public health point of view, as the risks to food safety are substantially reduced. [FULL STORY]
