2026 Travel Subsidy · Taiwan Tourism Administration
Weekday Stay Incentive
up to NT$2,000 per room, paid by the government
Check in Sunday to Thursday: up to NT$800 off the first night and up to NT$1,200 off a consecutive second night — one claim per room per night. Both Dream Come True and Wish Come True are enrolled, and we apply the discount at check-in.
Stays 1 Sep – 30 Nov 2026 (the Administration may close it early once the budget runs out)
What comes off
- First night up to NT$800
- Consecutive second night up to NT$1,200
- Maximum NT$2,000
Hengchun counts as a general region, not an outlying island. 2 nights per person at most, and they must be consecutive; each national ID number may take part once.
The subsidy is one claim per room per night: two people sharing a room still get one between them. On a whole-house booking the number of claims follows the rooms you open, not the size of your group — and no claim exceeds what that room actually costs that night.
How to get it
- 1
Register on the official site first
Upload a photo of the front of your Taiwan ID or NHI card. No registration, no discount.
Go to registration - 2
Book a weekday night with us
Check in Sunday to Thursday and avoid the long weekends listed below. Whole house or single rooms both work.

Show the card at check-in — we discount it there
Show the same ID or NHI card you registered with so we can confirm it is you, and the discount comes off your bill on the spot.
One thing that catches people out: Friday
Our rate card counts Sunday to Friday as a weekday; the subsidy counts Sunday to Thursday only. A Friday night gets our weekday rate but not the government discount.
So to use the subsidy your check-in has to land on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Friday and Saturday still follow our own rate card — they just do not carry the government discount.
Long weekends that do not qualify
- Mid-Autumn Festival 2026-09-25 – 09-28
- National Day 2026-10-09 – 10-11
- Retrocession Day 2026-10-24 – 10-26
- Constitution Day 2026-12-25 – 12-27 after 30 Nov, so it only affects the birthday voucher
The birthday voucher stacks
The birthday voucher is worth up to NT$1,200 and runs 10 Sep – 31 Dec 2026. The official rules allow it to be combined with the weekday stay incentive. Vouchers are drawn by lottery and apply to the winner in person on a weekday stay. Same unit as the incentive — one claim per room per night — except what comes off is a voucher, and it need not be the same person.
Frequently asked
How do I actually get the discount?
Three steps. Register on the Tourism Administration site with a photo of your Taiwan ID or NHI card; book a weekday night with us; show that same card at check-in so we can confirm it is you, and we apply the discount on the spot. No registration means no discount, and registering is not a guarantee — the Administration may stop the scheme early once the budget runs out.
Which nights count as weekdays?
For the subsidy a weekday is Sunday through Thursday, excluding national holidays and their long weekends. Note the mismatch: our own rate card counts Friday as a weekday, the subsidy does not. A Friday night gets our weekday rate but no government discount.
How much comes off?
Hengchun is a general region: up to NT$800 off the first night and up to NT$1,200 off a consecutive second night, NT$2,000 at most. That is one claim per room per night — two people sharing a room still get one between them — and no claim exceeds what that room actually costs that night. 2 nights maximum per person, and they must be consecutive.
How many times can one person use it?
Each national ID number may take part once in the weekday stay scheme and once in the birthday voucher scheme.
We are booking the whole house — can everyone claim it?
Not one claim each — one claim per room per night. The official Q&A states that each room-night may use each scheme once, with a worked example: two guests sharing a room, both eligible, still get a single weekday-stay claim for that night. So on a whole-house booking the number of claims follows the rooms you open, not the size of your group. Each claim still needs its holder to have registered, to be staying, and to show the card at check-in, and no claim exceeds what that room actually costs that night. Ask us when you book, and treat the official Q&A as the authority.
Can the birthday voucher be combined with the weekday incentive?
Yes — the official rules allow both. Note the windows differ: the weekday incentive ends 30 Nov and the voucher runs to 31 Dec, so December is voucher-only.
How does the birthday voucher work?
Vouchers are drawn by lottery — 1,000 birthday winners a month — and are worth up to NT$1,200 against a stay. They run 10 Sep to 31 Dec 2026 and apply to the winner in person on a weekday stay. The voucher carries the same unit as the incentive — one claim per room per night — except what comes off is a voucher, and not necessarily for the same person.
Which long weekends are excluded?
Mid-Autumn (25–28 Sep), National Day (9–11 Oct) and Retrocession Day (24–26 Oct) are excluded. Constitution Day (25–27 Dec) is excluded too, but the weekday stay scheme already ends on 30 Nov, so that one only affects the birthday voucher.
When does it end?
The weekday stay scheme runs to 30 November 2026. The Tourism Administration may announce an early close once the budget is spent, so earlier is safer.
Not sure whether your dates qualify? Just ask
The rules are the Tourism Administration's, but whether your particular nights qualify is something we can check for you.
