金門縣政府將於7月2日至5日在台北車站多功能展演區舉辦「2026金門特色產業嘉年華」，集結38家金門特色品牌北上展售，把最具代表性的金門特色產業帶到北部，讓民眾不用搭飛機，也能一次感受到金門在地特色與文化美食。
事實上，今年參展品牌除了傳統產業，也加入了近來快速發展的特色咖啡、文創設計及創新食品品牌，展現金門地方產業轉型與青年創業成果；此外，縣府除了結合觀光推廣，也推出「2026金門老兵召集令－番號集結 榮耀歸隊」主題演出，邀請曾在金門服役的老兵返場同樂，透過精神答數、部隊集結及軍旅情境表演，重現昔日戰地歲月，預料將成為活動最大亮點，也喚起不少老兵共同回憶。
綜上，金門縣政府觀光動起來，除相關人文、與產業活動外，金門縣政府也同步推出「金門美食讚」行銷活動，民眾只要在金門消費即可參加抽獎，獎項包括布拉格及東京來回機票、電子消費券等，希望藉由系列活動帶動暑假觀光及地方消費。這次金門縣政府在台北車站多功能展演區，讓台灣民眾除品嚐金門美食、選購特色商品，體驗戰地文化與離島風情，也為金門暑假旅遊提前暖身，而主編更希望一次活動投入資源如果也可以在經費允許下在台中與高雄亦布展，其預期經濟效益將更大，亦是金門縣政府未來可以考慮的方向！
Kinmen Tourism Takes Off! The “2026 Kinmen Specialty Industry Carnival” brings together 38 Kinmen Specialty Brands to Taiwan!
Chief Editor:Dr. Steven Tsai
The Kinmen County Government will hold the “2026 Kinmen Specialty Industry Carnival” from July 2nd to 5th at the Taipei Main Station Multifunctional Exhibition Area. The carnival will bring together 38 Kinmen specialty brands to showcase and sell their products in northern Taiwan, allowing visitors to experience Kinmen’s local characteristics, culture, and cuisine without having to travel by plane.
In fact, this year’s exhibitors, in addition to traditional industries, also include rapidly developing specialty coffee, cultural and creative design, and innovative food brands, showcasing Kinmen’s local industrial transformation and youth entrepreneurship achievements. Furthermore, besides tourism promotion, the county government is also launching the “2026 Kinmen Veterans’ Call to Arms – Units Assemble, Glory Returns” themed performance, inviting veterans who served in Kinmen to return and enjoy the festivities. Through a spirit-testing activity, troop assembly, and military-themed performances, the event recreates the battlefield years and is expected to be a major highlight, evoking shared memories for many veterans.
In summary, the Kinmen County Government is actively promoting tourism. In addition to related cultural and industrial activities, the Kinmen County Government is also simultaneously launching the “Kinmen Food Praise” marketing campaign. Visitors who spend money in Kinmen can participate in a lucky draw with prizes including round-trip tickets to Prague and Tokyo, and electronic vouchers. The government hopes that this series of activities will boost summer tourism and local consumption. This time, the Kinmen County Government’s multi-functional exhibition area at Taipei Main Station allowed Taiwanese people to not only taste Kinmen delicacies and purchase local specialties, but also experience battlefield culture and the charm of outlying islands. It also served as a warm-up for Kinmen’s summer tourism. The editor-in-chief hopes that if the resources invested in this event could be used to set up exhibitions in Taichung and Kaohsiung as well, the expected economic benefits would be even greater. This is also a direction that the Kinmen County Government can consider in the future!
