Travellers to Taiwan will soon be able to take advantage of an additional China Airlines weekly flight from Sydney to Taipei.

The new service, launched after results revealed a 24 per cent increase in Australian visitors to Taiwan, will commence on December 4, 2007, and will depart every Monday from Taipei to Sydney and every Tuesday from Sydney to Taipei.

Jim Wong, Australian Sales Manager of China Airlines, says "The additional flights will allow even more Australians to visit Taiwan and experience first-hand what it has to offer as a premium tourist and business destination."

Renowned for being a bustling centre of commerce and culture, it is little wonder why Taipei has become a popular Australian tourist destination.
