Taiwan's tourist trade takes a turn for the rustic as nature travel calls

Article Abstract:

More Taiwanese tourists are preferring nature-centered travel packages. Nature trips now account for 65% of the activities of the Taiwanese tour groups in New Zealand, compared with about 45% in 1996. The domestic tourist industry is also taking advantage of the trend, with travel groups touting the island's lush mountains and diving spots. The industry is viewed as a potentially lucrative one, as the island is home to 21 million residents with money to spare for vacations.
