— Tourism AdministrationDescribing the limited-time promotional offer for the Taiwan PASS.

The Taiwan PASS includes three-day unlimited travel on Taiwan Railways, access to metropolitan MRT systems, and shuttle services to popular tourist spots. Travelers can use it for various trips, from slow-paced journeys through Hualien and Taitung to exploring the mountains of Alishan or navigating city streets for culinary adventures. The pass aims to connect rail, metro, and scenic transport, simplifying multi-regional travel.

Officials hope the promotion will align with the growing trend of independent and in-depth travel in Taiwan. By encouraging the use of public transport, the Tourism Administration seeks to help travelers discover new landscapes and experiences that might be missed when driving.

In view of the heightened security situation in the Persian Gulf region ... the Directorate considers it necessary to adopt enhanced precautionary measures to safeguard the interests of Indian seafarers serving on board ships operating in the region.
