SINGAPORE (CNA) -- Asia's largest dive expo is taking place in Singapore, and Taiwan's Tourism Administration is promoting 'dive tourism.' Shi Chih-chung, director of the Taiwan Tourism Administration's Singapore office, pointed out today that by combining Taiwan's surrounding seas and convenient transportation, they hope to attract tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries to deeply explore Taiwan's world-class underwater landscapes.
Asia's largest dive expo, ADEX BIG BLUE LEGACY, was held in Singapore from the 10th to the 12th. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications Tourism Administration issued a press release stating that this year's exhibition highlights Taiwan's strategic advantages as an island nation, including convenient transportation and an English-friendly environment, to attract travelers from Singapore, Malaysia, and across Asia to explore Taiwan's underwater scenery.
Shi Chih-chung told CNA reporters today that Taiwan boasts an extremely diverse marine ecosystem, with unique world-class diving experiences available along its coasts. From charming micro marine life to spectacular schools of sea turtles and rich human culture, Taiwan's diverse underwater environment makes it an emerging destination not to be missed by global diving enthusiasts.
Shi Chih-chung noted that to provide professional travel advice, transportation information, and first-hand local experiences, top diving operators from northern, southern, eastern Taiwan, and Penghu have set up booths at the exhibition, leading visitors to understand the characteristics of each area and assisting in planning future diving itineraries.
This exhibition by the Tourism Administration showcases Taiwan's diving highlights. For example, northern Taiwan features sedimentary rock formations shaped by monsoons, nurturing a colorful 'underwater garden' abundant with soft corals and seasonal green algae. Yilan's Guishan Island also offers advanced divers exciting underwater hot springs and shipwreck exploration experiences.
In southern Taiwan, diving highlights include Kenting with its magnificent fringing reefs and varied underwater topography, while Little Liuqiu is world-renowned for its opportunities to swim with green sea turtles, making it a world-class diving destination.
During the exhibition, the Tourism Administration hosted several diving lectures, inviting speakers including ADEX Greater China Photography Ambassador Yorko Summer, Canon collaborating photographer Chiang Pei-chi, and Penghu 'Ocean Pathway'负责人 Chen En-ting, who shared their diving experiences in Taiwan through images and presented Taiwan's achievements in ecological conservation.
