Taiwan Tourism Bureau Gives Away Free Trips To Highlight Asian Destination

To raise awareness for the destination, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau is running a “Discover Taiwan” contest from September 1 to 30, 2005. The prize for the lucky winners will be ten free trips (each for two persons) to Taiwan, “the one place in Asia you can’t miss.” Contestants are invited to register as members on the Taiwan web site, www.go2taiwan.net and answer five questions about Taiwan. (The correct answers are actually given on the web site.)

This makes each member eligible for a 7-day/6-night trip for two that includes round-trip economy-class flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Newark or Vancouver airports to Taipei, Taiwan. The free trips include all accommodations in 5-star hotels, meals and a comprehensive tour of this island nation.

In the vibrant capital city, Taipei, sightseeing covers the renowned National Palace Museum, one of the world’s five best museums; Taipei 101, currently the world’s tallest building; the famous Longshan Temple; Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall; and the Martyrs Shrine. The tour of the island nation also includes Hualien, where winners will see an aboriginal dance show; Kaohsiung, with its bustling night market and Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist temple; then Puli town and the Puli Winery; and the beautiful Sun Moon Lake.

Winners’ names will be drawn on October 14, 2005. The winning names will be published on www.go2taiwan.net from October 15 to November 15, 2005. Notification will also be sent to the winners by e-mail and mail. Participants must be at least 18 years old, resident in the U.S. or Canada, and must be U.S. or Canadian passport holders. Only one entry is allowed per registered member. The non-transferable free trips are scheduled for December 2005; exact dates will be provided at the end of October. Costs for domestic travel to the gateway airports are not included.
