New Taipei City is rolling out its "2026 New Taipei Tourism Factory Series of Events," aiming to boost summer tourism with a "Work to Play All the Way" theme. The initiative connects 18 tourism factories and industrial culture centers across the city, offering five distinct themed activities.
Key attractions include "Bus Day Tours," featuring 10 unique itineraries priced at NT$599 each. These tours include factory admission, DIY experiences, guided tours, and visits to local attractions. Additionally, two "Tourism Factory Themed Gift Packages," valued at over NT$600, will be sold for a limited time at a discounted price of NT$300, allowing visitors to collect local specialties.
Both the bus tours and gift packages will be available for online purchase on the KKday platform starting June 29 at 3 p.m. To encourage sustainable exploration, the city is also hosting the "Work to Play All the Time" lucky draw from July 1 to September 30. Participants who use public transportation or low-carbon methods to visit tourism factories and industrial culture centers, and spend at least NT$100, can enter to win prizes such as air purifiers, AirPods Pro, and Bluetooth speakers.
The series culminates in September with the "Future of Work Exploration Party" in Linkou, a large-scale event featuring DIY activities, product showcases, and interactive games designed to introduce visitors to various industries and career exploration. City officials highlighted that tourism factories offer more than just manufacturing, emphasizing the discovery of stories, cultural heritage, and hands-on experiences, promoting a blend of education and entertainment.
Tourism factories' main spirit is to let the public discover the stories within, the cultural depth, and the hands-on experiences, making it both educational and fun.
