This legislation aims to significantly improve cooperation between the United States and Taiwan in the areas of travel and tourism. Within 90 days of enactment, the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism , in coordination with the Secretaries of Commerce and State, must engage Taiwanese authorities to identify and pursue opportunities for enhancing travel between the two regions. These efforts include facilitating coordination among various travel and tourism industry partners, advising on cultural heritage preservation, and ensuring the safety and security of international visitors, all while protecting sensitive U.S. information and economic interests. The Act requires annual reports for six years detailing the implementation of these cooperation efforts, including any challenges or resource gaps. Furthermore, it mandates a separate report within 180 days from the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with Commerce and State, to analyze the feasibility and advisability of establishing a U.S. preclearance facility in Taiwan . This report must assess the impacts of such a facility on trade, tourism, passenger travel, and U.S. foreign policy objectives, while also detailing homeland security benefits and vulnerabilities.
