InsideAsia has added Taiwan to its destination portfolio, launching seven new itineraries as part of Inside Travel’s Asia specialist brand.
The addition responds to demand for cultural travel across Asia beyond established destinations such as Japan and South Korea.
The launch includes standalone Taiwan itineraries as well as multi-country options combining Taiwan with Japan and South Korea, aimed at travellers looking to combine destinations within a single trip.
InsideAsia Taiwan development manager Grant Ekelund said Taiwan offered a diverse range of experiences within a compact area.
“Despite its size, the island offers remarkable diversity. Travellers can explore centuries-old temples, experience traditional tea culture, discover Indigenous heritage, cycle around Sun Moon Lake, and enjoy one of Asia’s most celebrated food scenes – all within a single journey,” Ekelund said.
“For those familiar with Japan or South Korea, Taiwan offers a unique but complementary perspective on the region. It is welcoming, easy to navigate, and ideal for both first-time and returning Asia travellers,” Ekelund said.
Inside Travel co-founder Alastair Donnelly said Taiwan’s history and culture had been shaped by Indigenous heritage as well as Chinese, Japanese and European influences.
“It has thousands of years of history, rich stories from the multiple indigenous groups, an innovative political culture of citizen assemblies and digital democracy,” Donnelly said.
“Hiking lovers can explore the rugged coastlines and steep mountain peaks that offer incredible views. From night markets to bullet trains and incredibly welcoming people, it’s everything you could want from a destination,” he said.
Donnelly said Taiwan remained under-served by travel companies in Western markets.
“Taiwan has it all – yet hasn’t caught the attention of many travellers in Western markets. It’s a destination under-served by travel companies and we’re here to change that,” Donnelly said.
The new itineraries cover family travel, culinary experiences, adventure, luxury travel, and two stopover options featuring Japan and South Korea.
