The 2018 edition of Time for Celebration—Taiwan Tourism Events promotion was launched Jan. 16 by the Tourism Bureau under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, spotlighting the country’s 95 best activities and festivals for the coming year.
Comprising 47 international- and 48 national-level entries themed eat, love, marvel, nature, shop and two wheels, the multilingual promotion offers overseas visitors a unique snapshot of cultural, religious, sporting and other events rich in local artistry and innovation.
