The development of tourism industry in Taiwan within the government level began in 1956. In September 1960, a Committee of Tourism was set up within the Ministry of Transportation and Communications with the approval from Executive Yuan. The committee was reorganized as the Tourism Council in October 1966, then Tourism Bureau on 29 December 1972, and finally the Tourism Administration in September 2023.
