Taiwan’s accommodations are full of unique features and memorable stories, such as Fuyuan Villa, which helped its owner’s son find a bride to become the next generation hostess; the huskies at Sunshine Bujuli in Chengbin Township, Taitung, who sing along with their owner’s vocal performances; the most celebrity-like Atayal youth at Shan Yue in Hualien; Heshi Coffee, created by a husband for his wife who loves serving others; and Dragonfly Stone Homestay, boasting a five-star ecological environment. To highlight distinctive accommodations across Taiwan, the Tourism Bureau has launched the “Star Hotels 1+1” service competition. The first phase, “Micro Service, Heartfelt Touch – Great Hotel Stars Wanted,” officially kicked off today (the 23rd), calling on top talents from Taiwan’s hospitality industry to join and search for everyday “hotel superstars,” giving everyone a chance to become a star.

The first phase of “Star Hotels 1+1” runs from October 23, 101, to January 9, 102, with participants submitting entries based on seven criteria—micro service, micro sweetness, micro touch, most passion (Feeling), most uniqueness (Face), most fun (Fun), and most fashion (Fashion). They can share heartfelt stories of serving guests, the bittersweet challenges of handling difficult customers, or the touching moments of receiving gratitude gifts from travelers, through a 3-minute video, 5 photos, and 700-word description.
The second phase, a fierce online popularity vote, is scheduled to run for one month starting December 5, 101, to select the Top 100 Star List. A professional jury will then choose 30 Hotel Superstars. Winners will receive a celebrity trophy from the Tourism Bureau, as well as the honor of free stays at premium star-rated hotels and guest-friendly homestays. Those shortlisted in the Top 100 will be awarded medals and gain priority exposure on domestic and international hotel platforms. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications’ Tourism Bureau will also produce a “Star Stories Collection” to significantly boost visibility for the selected Hotel Superstars and their businesses.
