Please note that the discounts provided by the Youth Travel Card will be expired by the end of 2016, and no more cards will be distributed once they run out.
Youth Development Administration, Ministry of Education encourages youth to experience Taiwanese cultures and provokes the trend of learning while traveling. Since 2006, we have released 2 types of Youth Travel Card for youth ages between 15-30. The blue one (with ocean pattern) is for Taiwanese youth and the red one (with aboriginal tribe pattern) is for international youth. In addition, we integrate the network with governmental departments and relevant travel agencies, so those with Youth Travel Card will have discounts for scenic spots transportation, accommodation, delicacy expenses and shopping.
Since it was introduced to the market, it has been very popular among youth. YDA combined the two types of Youth Travel Card into one and published a new one on May 18, 2010. The previous Youth Travel Cards are still valid till December 31, 2016.
