Taiwan’s hotel industry saw room occupancy climb to 83% in 2025 while average daily rates reached NT$5,300, a combination that doesn’t always happen together. Even more interesting, occupancy and pricing move differently across business versus leisure travel. In this post, we break down the latest Taiwan hotel statistics so you can see what’s driving the shift.
