The annual 2011 Taipei International Travel Fair (Taipei ITF) will take place from November 11 to 14, featuring exhibitors from 60 countries and 850 participating organizations simultaneously showcasing at Taipei World Trade Center Halls 1 and 3. The number of exhibition booths has increased from 1,200 to 1,500, a 25% growth, setting a record for the largest scale in the history of Taiwan's travel fairs. In addition to the entire Hall 1 of Taipei World Trade Center (1,200 booths), Hall 3 (300 booths) is being included for the first time, and has been designated as the “Hotel/Leisure Inn Zone,” which features the highest number of popular queued attractions. It brings together star-rated hotels, homestays, and hot spring operators from all over Taiwan to jointly launch an annual major discount and thank-you promotion!

This year, one travel fair ticket grants access to both exhibition halls, and you can also enjoy up to 104 performance sessions across the two halls—making it quite the great value. Moreover, the final performance session of each day serves as the draw time for the grand prize using the travel fair ticket stubs. Each day, at least 60 lucky audience members will be drawn, with prizes including presidential suites, flight tickets, accommodation vouchers, meal coupons, package tours, and many other major awards. Whether you purchase your tickets at 7-Eleven ibon, Rakuten, or on-site, you can join the lucky draw.
