Taipei, 22nd May: Taipei recently opened a new venue designed for mega events. The Taipei Dome, a multipurpose stadium, is located in the Xinyi District. It is expected to massively boost business activities within the city.

According to Cheng Peng-Ching from Taipei’s Department of Information and Tourism, the government plans to market the new venue for concerts, festivals and sporting events. It may also host large exhibitions as well as other culture activities. Initially, the Taipei Dome will now focus on attracting events appealing to the local and South-east Asian market. At a later stage, they hope to target the long-haul market. (Taylor Swift, perhaps?)
