Mayor’s Remarks:
1. As the year (2023) draws to a close, we've already launched various initiatives tied to Tainan 400. The municipal government initiated the promotion of Tainan 400 during the National Games, and we anticipate an even more extensive array of activities next year, attracting a surge of tourists and visitors to Tainan. The recent Greater Tainan International Travel Fair garnered widespread acclaim, boasting attendance that surpassed previous years and a notable uptick in participating businesses, booths, and cities. I strongly encourage the Bureau of Tourism to seize the momentum of post-COVID tourism recovery, showcasing the allure of our city and fostering enhanced tourism exchanges.
2. Rental management serves as a mutually beneficial strategy for both landlords and tenants. The government not only aids in rental management but also offers rent subsidies, aligning with the pursuit of housing justice. I urge the Urban Development Bureau and local offices to actively endorse rental management and support applications for rent subsidies. This initiative will truly assist those in need, including young professionals, the elderly, and vulnerable populations. It's essential to extend the promotion of rental management services beyond urban or densely populated areas and also focus on expanding them in northern Tainan.
3. I request the Agriculture Bureau to enhance the marketing of ponkan and tangerines. Additionally, I ask all departments to lend support to planned marketing activities aimed at promoting our city's agricultural products to associations and cooperatives for procurement.
