The U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Travel and Tourism Industries (OTTI) and the U.S. Commercial Service Travel & Tourism Team are pleased to present an opportunity to listen to a previously recorded webinar on the latest market admitted to the Visa Waiver Program: Taiwan. This program was initially presented and recorded on April 29, 2013. Brand USA also provided an update on their plans for this market.
Taiwan has generated nearly 300,000 travelers each year since 2004. Since 2003, arrivals from Taiwan are up 21% through 2011. OTTI had forecast this market to grow by 47% between 2011 and 2017, but now that the market has Visa Waiver Status it will be interesting to see how this market changes. The preliminary spending estimate for Taiwan visitors to and within the United States was $1.2 billion in 2012, up 80% since 2003.
