Mayor’s Remarks:
1. In light of the recent trade blockade on local pineapples, I would like to ask the Agriculture Bureau to enhance its collaboration with private entities, including the Farmers’ Association, Tainan Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation, and Nanying Agriculture International Marketing Co., Ltd. in exploring channels for both domestic marketing and exports. To assist vendors in weathering this storm, the Agriculture Bureau should also help vendors transfer orders or turn to processing.
2. MayDay is scheduled to hold a series of concerts at Tainan Municipal Stadium. As the stadium will be reserved for MayDay for a month, the surrounding traffic and activities of nearby residents are sure to be affected. The Bureau of Education is tasked with planning alternative venues for residents to get their exercise. The Department of Transportation and the Police Department should identify potential transportation problems and propose response measures. The Bureau of Tourism should continue to promote accommodation and attractions to maximize tourism and economic benefits. Also, I would like to ask concerned departments to, within their scope of responsibilities, provide the Bureau of Tourism with assistance in organizing this series of concerts.
