The Kaohsiung City Government's Tourism Bureau has introduced the "Seaside Travel Experience" from October to December, focusing on promoting seaside tourism through "in-depth itineraries," "group travel subsidies," and "music markets" during the abundant autumn and winter harvest seasons. This year, they have also launched the "Seaside Gourmet Plate Project," calling on restaurants in Zuoan, Mituo, Yong'an, and Qieding to join the culinary lineup. The registration deadline for interested businesses is November 17. Subsequently, secret diners will be invited to select the top 10 most authentic and creative dishes, allowing visitors to explore the cultural and culinary charm of Kaohsiung's seaside.

Tourism Bureau Director Gao Minlin stated that Kaohsiung is a city born by the sea and thrives due to its ports, boasting rich resources in local fishing villages and natural landscapes. The city is known for its delicious seafood, sourced from the abundant sea. The "Seaside Gourmet Plate Project" aims not only to promote local cuisine but also to discover unique local establishments. The selection process includes two categories: the "Seaside Recommendation Group," where existing dishes are recommended, awarding 3,000 NT dollars to 7 outstanding establishments; and the "New Dish Establishment Group," challenging businesses to design exclusive dishes for the Seaside Travel Experience, with 1,000 NT dollars in reward for 3 creative and distinctive establishments.

Gao Minlin added that selected establishments will not only receive cash rewards but will also be featured in food blogger visits arranged by the Tourism Bureau. The coverage, including photo and video content, as well as blog articles, will be shared on various online platforms to promote the selected businesses. Additionally, on December 8, chosen establishments are invited to participate in the "Seaside Gourmet Plate Presentation," an event where they can showcase their culinary creations and share stories about their connection to the fishing villages. The application deadline for the selection process is November 17, welcoming restaurants, snack shops, souvenir stores, coffee shops, dessert shops, and other businesses in Zigan, Mituo, Yong'an, and Qieding to actively join the "Seaside Gourmet Plate Project" and contribute to the vibrant gastronomic scene along Kaohsiung's coastline.
To actively expand tourism along the northern coast of Kaohsiung, the Tourism Bureau has planned 8 low-carbon, sustainable deep travel routes this year, guiding visitors to explore the cultural charm of fishing village communities. Building on the success of last year's well-received "High Party Music Market," the event will be expanded and held on November 26 at the Chikan Seaside Embankment in Zigan. In addition, the "2023 Seaside Deep Travel Group Subsidy Program" has attracted travel agencies from across Taiwan to organize tours along Kaohsiung's coastline. The Tourism Bureau reminds eligible agencies that each group meeting the criteria is entitled to a subsidy of NT$4,500 for transportation expenses. The subsidy program will end on November 30 or when the allocated funds are depleted, so agencies are encouraged to apply early to secure their subsidy.
