Text by Wei Rwei, MOOK Travel Life Network, compiled and reported

The “2012 Taiwan International Tourism Festival” will take place from April 28 to May 1, daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Yuanshan Blooming Exhibition Hall in Taipei City. To address the recent rise in prices of oil, electricity, and daily necessities, the exhibition area has specially planned an “Anti-Inflation Package,” offering great-value travel itineraries so that no matter how tough life gets, you can still enjoy travel. Moreover, the organizing committee has introduced a triple bonus gift: the first 100 visitors each day will receive one tumbler and one bottle of Guang Quan series milk tea (limit one exchange per person per day); shoppers spending over NT$3,000 on-site can participate in an instant draw to win a chance to take home a NT$10,000 accommodation voucher on the spot; and those with a NT$3,000 purchase receipt can exchange it for one lottery ticket to win major prizes such as a 55T LCD TV, iPhone 4s, a NT$10,000 pearl necklace from Dadongshan, or a day trip to Jiǎnliàn.

The most eye-catching offers in this anti-inflation package include: a 10-day tour of Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, and the Rhine & Luxembourg starting at NT$70,900, with the second person in a pair receiving a discount of NT$6,000–NT$10,000; an 11-day Fashion Double Star Tour of France, Switzerland, and Italy via High-Speed Rail starting at NT$87,900, with the second person in a pair receiving a discount of NT$6,000–NT$10,000; a hot spring bath and afternoon tea package for two at just NT$399, valid any day; and the National Youth Corps’ “Activity Center Joint Accommodation and Meal Vouchers,” with an average cost of just NT$500 per person per night including breakfast, applicable at all 17 activity centers nationwide.

Additionally, among international special packages, there are limited-edition deals including only two sets available worldwide—a luxurious eight-day trip to Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab starting at NT$111,000, and a four-day tour of Busan exploring local UNESCO World Heritage Sites for just NT$8,888.

The event also gives the public a chance to vote for their favorite photos and win gifts. Anyone holding any type of ticket stub from the “2012 Taiwan International Tourism Festival” can exchange it for one lottery ticket at the gift booth. After filling out basic information and writing their preferred photo number on the back, they can drop it into the dedicated voting box (entries with incomplete information will not be counted). Lucky participants may win domestic accommodation vouchers or attraction tickets.
