Taiwan’s Tourism Administration has established its first Taiwan Tourism Information Center in heart of downtown Seattle at Two Union Square. The facility will boost travel ties, cultural exchange, and visitor engagement between Taiwan and the Pacific Northwest.
With nearly 190 weekly direct flights between Taiwan and major North American cities, Taiwan’s connectivity to the US continues to grow. Among these, Seattle has become a key aviation hub, with notable route expansion from EVA Air, China Airlines, Starlux Airlines, and Delta Air Lines, significantly improving access for American travellers.
Director general Daniel K C Chen of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle, said the Taiwan Tourism Information Center “marks a new chapter in our bilateral engagement”.
“It’s more than a physical office – it’s a symbolic gateway that invites the Pacific Northwest to discover the wonders of Taiwan,” he added.
Following the facility’s opening on June 13, a Taiwan Tourism Promotion Forum was held at the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, convening local travel professionals, media, and influencers for networking, destination education, and partnership building.
The Taiwan Tourism Information Center in Seattle will roll out a series of high-impact campaigns over the year to further engage with US consumers. The activations include the Two Days Taiwan Immersive Festival in August, which will bring a vibrant night market experience to the heart of Seattle; Hey Hey Taipei airport installation in September; and a nationwide digital campaign with special travel deals, conducted in partnership with Expedia, in October.
