Thanks to the launching of Taiwan- Nagoya service by several budget airlines, the number of Taiwanese tourists visiting the Japanese city of Nagoya has increased significantly since the beginning of this year, according to media reports.

Japan has long been the top destination for Taiwanese travelers, and the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Osaka have traditionally been very popular. But Nagoya is on the rise.

According to statistics, the number of Taiwanese visitors to Nagoya has increased significantly this year compared to the same period last year, with January, February and March growing 170 percent, 144 percent, and 146 percent, respectively.

The increase has been attributed to several budget airlines’ launching of the Taiwan-Nagoya route, including V Air, Tigerair and JetStar Japan, reports said.     [FULL  STORY]
