Sky lanterns, Guanxiang (snatch-the-altar) festival, hot air balloons — vote now in the Taiwan Tourism Calendar selection
To promote international events across Taiwan’s cities and counties, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has launched the Taiwan Tourism Calendar County/City International Events Selection Program. After the first phase of preliminary discussions by scholars and experts, a total of 29 international events from cities and counties across Taiwan have been selected. From now until 12:00 noon on November 26, an online vote is open to choose the international events that best represent Taiwan. Each person may cast up to 8 votes per day for different participating tourism events. All participants in the voting have the chance to win major prizes such as mobile phones, bicycles, and convenience store gift vouchers.
