Theme parks are offering ticket discounts alongside promises to step up disease prevention in hopes of attracting more visitors on Children’s Day on Saturday next week, the Taiwan Tourism Theme Parks Association said on Friday.
Some parks have agreed to shut down for one to two days every week to properly disinfect their grounds, the association said, adding that parks would comply with all disease prevention efforts.
Parks said that their staff would measure visitors’ temperatures at entry areas, wear masks when on duty and disinfect facilities and public areas, the association said.
It said that as flowers would be in bloom and as the majority of theme parks are outdoors, Children’s Day would be a great opportunity for families to visit and have fun.
