Following Taiwan's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2002, the domestic liquor industry has faced severe challenges due to the abolition of the tobacco and alcohol monopoly system and intense competition from imported spirits. Consequently, the market share of domestic liquor has plummeted from a historical high of 72% to 48% as of 2024. This study investigates how the domestic liquor industry can overcome these market challenges by leveraging the experience economy through wine tourism. Focusing on the Taichung region, this research targets local spirits produced from indigenous agricultural products: Waipu grapes (wine), Wufeng fragrant rice (sake), and Da-an taro (shochu). To address the limitations of traditional distribution channels and transportation issues related to drunk driving regulations, a ''Winery Bus'' itinerary was designed and developed. This initiative aims to advance sixth-sector industrialization in agriculture and create a viable experience economy model for domestic liquor. The research methodology employed field trip experiments and questionnaire surveys. Four batches of tour tests were conducted targeting both the general public and travel industry professionals, yielding 84 valid responses. Empirical results indicate an overall satisfaction score of over 4.50 for the Winery Bus itinerary, with the ''Rice Village Liquor Rhyme'' route at the Wufeng Farmers' Association Winery receiving the highest ratings. The study found that interpersonal service factors—specifically guided tours and interactions with winery artisans—are critical in enhancing brand recognition. In terms of economic benefits, this model demonstrated exceptional commercial conversion power. The purchase rate among tourists reached 88%, with an average spending of approximately NT$1,868 per person, confirming that a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) model can effectively generate high value-added revenue. The conclusion suggests that the Winery Bus exerts a ''lighthouse effect,'' successfully guiding tourists deep into production areas. This not only refreshes consumer stereotypes regarding domestic liquor brands but also significantly enhances the intention to revisit and recommend the experience. It is recommended that future collaborations between industry, government, and academia focus on deepening narratives around local terroir and food pairings, as well as establishing standardized reception protocols for the travel industry to build a sustainable local liquor tourism ecosystem. |
