The Tourism Bureau of Tainan City Government is seeking to raise the city’s profile in the overseas market by inviting the famous Thai YouTuber “Pigkaploy” with 1.79 million subscribers to make Tainan tourism videos in Taiwan. Pigkaploy will use all the major social media platforms to introduce the charm of Tainan to Southeast Asia once more. The audience will join her in exploring the attractions of Tainan, which will boost Tainan’s visibility in the international tourism market.
Tainan City Mayor Huang Wei-Che stated that Thailand has always been a key source of visitors to Taiwan in the Southeast Asian market. Thailand is also currently without a doubt the third largest source country for visitors to Taiwan in Southeast Asia. Tourism Administration of Ministry of Transportation and Communications statistics indicated that 306,724 Thai travelers visited Taiwan for tourism in 113, an increase of 2.12% on the same period in 2019 before COVID-19. The market is therefore showing strong signs of recovery and growth. For her visit, Pigkaploy toured and shot videos at the Tainan Yongle Market and checked out the specialty stores on the second floor. The City Hall team showed Pigkaploy through Yongle Night Market while introducing the market’s history and specialty stores. They also presented Pigkaploy with locally-made dried mangoes and pomelos, Matsu Milk Puff (Strawberry flavor) and Dongshan Coffee to create happy memories. City Hall hopes that international influencers like Pigkaploy will introduce more of their Southeast Asian audience to the unique charms of Fucheng.
Director-General Lin Kuo-hua from the Tourism Bureau of Tainan City Government said that a special invitation was issued to Pigkaploy to experience the local ecology, history, culture, and cuisine. During the 3-day itinerary, they covered all of Tainan’s urban, mountain, and seaside districts, including Xinhua Old Street, Meiling Scenic Area, Sicao Tunnel, Caoshan Moon World, and sunrise at Erliao. Popular attractions such as Yongle Market, Hayahsi Department Store, and West Market were also visited to introduce her channel’s audience to more of Tainan. We believe that with YouTuber Pigkaploy’s shared experiences, the beauty of Tainan will be effectively promoted to Southeast Asia, sparking interest among Southeast Asian tourists. Tainan City Government will continue to boost the visibility of Tainan in the international tourism market through social media platforms and diversified marketing events.
The Tainan City Tourism Bureau is continuing to nurture both domestic and international tourism markets by continuously improving hospitality services and environments, participating in exhibitions at home and abroad, and promoting local agricultural products to expand tourism business opportunities and further solidify the city’s brand image. In the future, even more diverse and exciting travel events will be held. We therefore invited all local and overseas travelers to step inside Tainan and experience the splendor of Fucheng at their leisure.
