KTC and Taiwan Tourism Administration Launch “Unseen Taiwan” Campaign, Targeting 400,000 Thai Visitors

Krungthai Card Public Company Limited (KTC) has renewed its strategic partnership with the Taiwan Tourism Administration (TTA) for the third consecutive year, unveiling the new ‘Unseen Taiwan’ campaign under the theme ‘Taiwan 3.0 – Endless Charm, Unforgettable Impressions.’

The initiative aims to attract more than 400,000 Thai visitors to Taiwan in 2025 by spotlighting new destinations—particularly in the Southern regions, rich in cultural heritage and natural attractions—while supporting the growth of Taiwan’s regional tourism economy.

“Taiwan 3.0” Strategy Targets High-Spending Independent Travelers

Ms. Cindy Chen, Director of Taiwan Tourism in Bangkok, said the campaign focuses on Free Independent Travelers (FITs) and modern families aged 20–49, a demographic known for strong purchasing power and a preference for personalized experiences.

The Taiwan 3.0 concept highlights three key dimensions:
Culinary Dimensions – a journey from authentic street food to fine dining.
LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) – activities promoting well-being and connection with nature.
Local Cultural Heritage – immersion through heritage architecture and living traditions.

“Our partnership with KTC plays a vital role in expanding the Thai traveler base and enhancing Taiwan’s image as a dynamic, multifaceted destination,” Ms. Chen said.
