The “2012 Taiwan International Tourism Festival” will be held from April 28 to May 1, daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Yuanshan Floral Exposition Hall in Taipei. In response to the recent rises in oil, electricity, and everyday goods prices, 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 is also offering triple bonus gifts, including: the first 100 visitors each day will receive one tumbler + one bottle of Guang Quan series milk tea (one exchange per person per day); shoppers spending over NT$3,000 on-site can participate in an instant draw to possibly take home a NT$10,000 accommodation voucher on the spot; and you can also exchange a NT$3,000 purchase slip for one raffle ticket to win major prizes such as a 55T LCD TV, iPhone 4s, a pearl necklace worth NT$10,000 from Dadongshan, and a Day Trip to Jian.
