The background of social movement after the lifting of martial law in Taiwan, together with the struggle of indigenous people for name rectification and anti- colonialism, contributed to the establishment of TCIP.(2) TCIP's organizational structure, staffing and budget are equivalent to the second tier of the Executive Yuan, and its main business overlaps with other departments.(3) Most of TCIP's tourism policies are stage policies, and most of them are subsidies.(4) TCIP has no substantive rights and is not the tourism business unit, so it is a role of assistance in promoting tribal tourism.
