Abstract

Aim: The study aims to provide up-to-date information on the growth of East Taiwan’s hostel industry, which offers tourists a low-cost alternative in the otherwise pricey tourism sector. The area of Hualien County we use as an example is quite small. Since there had been a void in the literature due to the rapid pace of change, this study set out to fill it.Methodology: The SWOT analysis used in this study was developed from data gathered through observation and archival research.Findings: According to this study, East Taiwan is blessed with a wealth of pristine natural resources that are likely to draw in more tourists looking for leisure activities. Challenges unique to the area included erratic weather, a lack of convenient public transportation, and prohibitively high prices. Opportunities included better public transportation and more eco-friendly, active attractions like whale watching, boating, and staying in a hostel or bed and breakfast. Overdevelopment of sites, an over-saturated market, and a workforce with wildly varying skill sets posed risks to the natural environment.Novelty/ Implications: The results suggest that the development should be in sync with local traditional styles, that transportation and roads should be upgraded, that information should be more readily available via specialized websites, and that people should be better trained. It’s important to take precautions to ensure that pristine natural environments aren’t ruined by construction.

Abstract

Aim: This paper discusses potential strategies for growing the tourism sector in the area. We use Hualien County as an illustration. Hualien County is a region in East Taiwan known for its breathtaking scenery and diverse eco-friendly landscape. A crucial issue is how to effectively boost the regional economy and the tourism sector. This issue is the main focus of the paper.Methodology: Our qualitative research is based on archival analysis of reports about Hualien’s most popular tourist spot and on participant observation. To promote tourism, we conducted a SWOT analysis of the available literature.Findings: We discovered that the local government should coordinate the culture of festive activities and provide clear publicity for the events. The media should be used in the management of the tourism industry. Cooperation between the government and businesses should enhance the growth of the tourism industry.Implications/Novelty: The implication is that there may still be unresolved conflicts between the quickening pace of tourism growth and the protection of the area’s natural beauty.

Methodology Archival research, participant observation, and the use of a SWOT analysis all contribute to the qualitative nature of this investigation.Findings: The Truku people, it can be said with confidence, serve as a prime illustration of the maturation of both tribal culture and the Seejoq language. The benefits and drawbacks, opportunities, and threats of tourism development for the Truku tribe have all been critically analyzed in this study. It has been discovered that the rituals of the May Bari of Truku can significantly revive the Truku people. Created based on its beliefs and practices.Implications/Novelty: Our original contribution is that we looked at how tribal pride in their ancestry has changed over time. This research bolsters the case for the widespread acceptance of tribal people into modern society’s networks, where they enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else, not just in isolated communities.
