We will also discuss various events and activities organized for Taiwan tourism development. In addition, our discussion will also address issues on sustainable tourism development and management. With the knowledge of Taiwan tourism resources gained from the above class learning activities, students will learn to report and write in English to introduce Taiwan’s landscape, culture, and food to foreigners.
