The Taiwan Tourism Administration has opened its first tourism information center in the Philippines, which, according to Taiwan Representative Wallace Minn-Gan Chow, “is very meaningful and just right in time” to mark the flourishing bilateral relations between the two countries.

In addition to handling travel-related inquiries, the Taiwan Tourism Information Center will also host workshops and Mandarin classes.

Over the past 11 months, Taiwan has welcomed more than 370,000 Filipino travelers, a 35 percent increase from 2023’s total of 350,000.

The Taiwan Tourism Information Center is located on the second floor of 100 West Makati, 100 Sen. Gil Puyat Ave., corner Washington Street, Makati City, Metro Manila.
