Lu Xiaoya, chairman of the National Federation of Tourist Car Passenger Transport Commercial Associations in Taiwan, said in an interview with "China Review News Agency" that this wave of epidemics has impacted Taiwan's tour bus industry statistics from mid-April to the present, and there are still only about 2,000 units, less than 20% of the vehicles are used, and seven or eight operators have already closed down. Lu Xiaoya called on the DPP authorities to act as the "leader" in revitalizing the tourism industry and to issue subsidies early without election considerations.
The administrative agency of the Democratic Progressive Party put forward a new wave of revitalization plan on May 25, and proposed 16.49 billion yuan (NT$, the same below) in the aid industry, but it will not be released until September at the earliest. The travel industry complains that there will be an election consider.
According to Lu Xiaoya, there are currently more than 900 members of the National Tourist Bus Association in Taiwan, and about 15,000 tour buses, but only about 2,000 are still running.
Lu Xiaoya said that the transportation industry is classified as a subsidy for the tourism industry this time, and the amount is 5.5 billion yuan. Basically, as long as the tour bus is operating, it can apply for the subsidy, but he thinks it should not be delayed until September It will only be issued, and it should be issued in advance of July at the latest.
Lu Xiaoya pointed out that DPP officials believe that July and August are summer vacations, and summer vacations have always been the peak season for the tourism industry, so there is no need to subsidize too early. But this time is different. The impact of this wave of epidemics is not only affecting the travel industry. The tour bus industry has less than 20% of its trips. Seven or eight operators have already closed down, so early assistance is urgently needed. Moreover, there will be an election in November this year, and it is even more inappropriate to delay the distribution until after September.
Lu Xiaoya believes that the DPP authorities should be the "leader" in revitalizing the tourism industry, and there should be no election considerations. If the distribution is made ahead of schedule in July, it shows that the government is confident in preventing the epidemic and can encourage people to join groups on the island Tourism, revitalize the development of tourism industry.
Lu Xiaoya said that if the DPP authorities can issue subsidies in advance in July and boost the development of the tourism industry, the tour bus industry will make money. In addition, the bank will postpone the bailout loan, and the government will reduce the fuel tax for one season, The license tax can at least save 10 to 20 tour bus operators from danger.
