The Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) has introduced a three-part roadmap \u2014”Local Immersion, Digital Transition, and International Promotion” \u2014 to shape its plans for the future of the sector.

Exemplifying the commitment to sustainable travel, the Matsu National Scenic Area Administration has launched\u00a0“Island Pilgrimage: A Slow Travel Trek Through Matsu<\/span>.” The program weaves together environmental stewardship, cultural experiences, and community-led walks to invite visitors to discover the islands on foot. Located northwest of Taiwan’s<\/span> main island near mainland China’s<\/span>\u00a0Fujian coast, the Matsu islands\u2014Nangan, Beigan, Juguang, and Dongyin\u2014offer a distinctive mix of historical landmarks and coastal landscapes.<\/p>\n

Following its August launch, the initiative has organized guided walks across Nangan, Beigan, and Juguang. Television hosts Xie Zheqing and Duan Huilin, along with South Korean cheerleader Lee Ho<\/span>–J<\/span>ong, have taken part in the routes, sharing their perspectives on Matsu’s culture and natural scenery. In September, a travel agency affiliated with La New Group introduced a five-day walking itinerary, encouraging more travelers to choose low-carbon trips and reflecting a commitment to sustainable business practices.<\/p>\n

“Matsu offers a rare blend of natural and historical assets, making it an ideal place to promote <\/span>responsible tourism and preserve<\/span> its cultural heritage,” stated by <\/span>Hong\u00a0Zhiguang, Director of the Matsu National Scenic Area Administration. “Slow, walking-based travel drives local tourism transformation<\/span> and provides <\/span>visitors the chance to connect more deeply with the islands.” Looking ahead, the Administration will expand the “Island Pilgrimage<\/span>” project with cross-island routes and stamp-collecting activities, working to establish Matsu as a premier destination for walking holidays in Taiwan<\/span>.<\/p>\n
