Protecting the Beautiful Home of Sea Turtles and Coral Reefs: Xiao Liuqiu’s New Fee for Intertidal Zone Tourism
Update: 2024-10-30
Description
After the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were lifted, a global tourism boom emerged. Countries such as Italy (Venice) and Spain (Valencia) have implemented new tourist taxes in various ways. These measures aim not only to generate substantial tourism revenue but also to control visitor numbers, reduce environmental impacts caused by excessive tourism, and minimize disruptions to the quality of life for local residents. In Taiwan, the island of Xiao Liuqiu, known for its rich marine biodiversity and the highest density of endangered green sea turtles, has introduced a "conservation tourism fee" in three intertidal zones starting in July 2024. Visitors entering these regulated areas must pay a 60 NT entrance fee.
