The Central Meteorological Administration continues to issue sea and land typhoon warnings for moderate typhoon Qiangbi. The Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transport announced today (23rd) that all tourist attractions under the jurisdiction of the national scenic spots have been closed. Also organize event postponement information.

The Huadong Branch of the Tourism Department originally scheduled the "Zhiluo Tribe-Paddy Field Footprints Dining Table under the Moonlight" on October 24 (Saturday), but has postponed it to November 22 (Sunday). The "Nanzhuang Tribe Hiking" originally scheduled for October 24th (Saturday) to 25th (Sunday) by the Sanshan Air Duct Office has been postponed to November 7th (Saturday) to November 8th (Sunday). The "Saisha Table Dinner Tour" originally scheduled for October 25th (Sunday) has been postponed to November 14th (Saturday).

The Tourism Administration said that you can check the latest status of the warning closures of tourist attractions within the jurisdiction of each national scenic area through the "Explore Taiwan Assistant".

The Tourism Administration also reminds the public that cancellation of reservations and refunds of deposits during typhoon days must be determined on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the conditions for natural disaster force majeure are met. If a passenger travels to a hotel through a county or city or the destination has been declared suspended by the county or city government, or the flight and transportation must be suspended, this is a force majeure event, and the passenger can request the hotel to fully refund the deposit paid and related fees.

However, the Tourism Administration pointed out that if the transportation vehicles are operating normally and the county or city does not meet the standards for suspension of classes and services, it should return to the standard identification and processing of "matters that should and should not be recorded in the standardized contract for individual passenger reservations".
