In Taiwan, indigenous peoples are facing a multitude of challenges such as economic and social marginalization. In addition, as many young indigenous people are forced to leave their communities in search of study and employment opportunities, it is difficult for traditions and languages to be passed on and preserved.

In 2006, Tribe-Asia saw a chance to try and make a difference, by raising awareness of their cultures and cultural products in international markets. Initially, its focus was on working with indigenous artists and artisans all around Taiwan to bring their handicrafts and art works to a broader, global audience. This vision was expanded to include the promotion of sustainable and socially responsible tourism to indigenous communities in 2012. In 2025, the decision was made to close its online store permanently. However, it will continue to work towards the development of sustainable and socially responsible tourism in Taiwan’s indigenous areas.

Through Tribe-Asia’s tour blog and feature articles, find out about Taiwan’s indigenous communities, including their culture, arts, tourism opportunities, and the people living there who are working tirelessly to preserve their culture and language. In addition, in partnership with indigenous communities and responsible tour operators, exciting, authentic, interactive, and informative travel experiences are being made available.
