Amid a camping craze, study finds that over half of Taiwan’s campsites are illegal

Given the current craze for camping in Taiwan, many people have probably already booked campsites for the approaching long weekend holiday. However, be warned: over half of them are illegal, according to a study from the Tourism Bureau. The Consumers'' Foundation says you''re entitled to a refund if you''ve already booked a camping holiday on an illegal site. With the babbling of a brook and beautiful natural scenery, Bee World in New Taipei City’s Sanxia District is popular with camping enthusiasts. But the Tourism Bureau has classed this campsite as an illegal business in violation of the Forestry Act. The site’s operators are highlighting their original contract and complaining. Voice of Mr ChenThere is no illegal occupation. We have a rental contract. We’ve been operating here for 40 or 50 years. We mainly sell honey and there are no charges for camping. Everyone can come and go as they please. In addition, according to a survey of Taiwan’s camping sites published by the Tourism Bureau, 230 are in geologically sensitive areas and are threatened by landslides. All of them are illegal campsites. The Consumer’s Foundation says that if members of the public find out that the camp site they have booked in advance is illegal, they are entitled to a full refund. Yu Kai-hsiungConsumers’ Foundation Chairman This is classed as an “impossible” agreement under the Consumer Protection Law and the Civil Code. Consumers can demand the dissolution of the contract and their money back. They can also ask local consumer protection officials to assist them in obtaining a refund. Camping has become increasingly popular in Taiwan in recent years. There are over 1500 campsites across Taiwan and the number of people that go camping regularly each year has broken the 2 million mark. However, currently the government does not have specialized laws to manage this. There are fears that people’s lives and property will be put at risk -- unbeknownst to the campers.
