遊樂區為人帶來歡笑與娛樂，台灣遊樂區更是各有特色！台灣觀光遊樂區協會廖俊斌理事長，同時也是野柳海洋世界的總經理，他表示台灣遊樂區共有25座，依據其特性可分為：「動物」、「機械」和「自然生態景色」三大主題，充分展現不同特色。前兩者，深受小朋友與年輕人喜愛，而自然生態景色遊樂區則成功吸引新加坡和馬來西亞的遊客，特地前來感受台灣獨特的山林地景。

Amusement park brings happiness and amusement to people. Each amusement park in Taiwan has its own features! Liao, Jun-Bin, the board director of Taiwan Amusement Park Association who is also the general manager of Yehliu Ocean World referring that there are 25 amusement parks in Taiwan; they can be divided into three themes, animal, machine, and natural ecological scenery. Children and young people love the first two. Natural ecological scenery areas are especially attractive to visitors from Singapore and Malaysia. They come to feel the unique mountain view of Taiwan.

目前遊樂區客群，95%為國內遊客，5%為國外自由行遊客，為開拓海外市場，協會每年都會組團參加展覽，以華語系地區為主，走訪過新加坡、馬來西亞、香港、澳門等地進行推廣。針對日益擴大的穆斯林市場，遊樂區業者也紛紛規劃祈禱場所和穆斯林友好餐廳等設施，提供最友善的遊樂環境。

Currently, 95% of the visitors of amusement parks are domestic tourists, the other 5% are individual tourists from foreign countries. In order to expand foreign market, the association attends different exhibition by groups. They mainly visited the Chinese-speaking regions, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau. For Muslim market, operators of the amusement parks also plan friendly facilities, such as prayer room and friendly Muslim restaurant.

廖理事長認為，未來台灣遊樂區的發展，應以創造附加價值為目標。如何讓遊樂區不只是遊樂，引入「教育」意義，達到真正的寓教於樂，是值得思考的方向。他也提出自己的構想，像是動物或自然生態主題遊樂區，可以教育相關生態知識，機械主題遊樂區則能結合物理力學，讓學童能夠親自體驗並印證課本上的知識，如此才是業者、消費者與政府的三贏。

Liao, Jun-Bin thinks that the development of Taiwan's amusement parks in the future should be aim at creating added value. How to let amusement parks not only bring amusement to people? It should be educational. He also mentioned his idea. It will be great if tourists can learn ecological knowledge in the amusement parks related to animal or natural ecology. Machine themed amusement parks can combine physical mechanics to let student verify the knowledge of books. That’s true successful for all the three sides of dealer, consult, and government.

相較於國際知名樂園品牌，台灣遊樂區的規模與資源或許無法相比，於是更應該整合團結，以台灣作為品牌一同行銷推廣，打造「台灣好樂園」，讓更多人體驗台灣遊樂區的精彩！

Compared amusement parks in Taiwan with international famous amusement park, our scale and resources may not be comparable; that’s why we should be more united and promoted Taiwan as a brand. Create great Taiwan amusement parks and let more people experience amazing amusement park in Taiwan!
