The Best Trip in The World Contest
A contest to determine the best place to be in has been announced by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, inviting people anywhere in the world today to come up with a money-saving itinerary trip to Taiwan. Apparently this contest is aimed at promoting tourism and of course giving people around the world a chance to enjoy Taiwan’s hidden beauties.
Fifty teams that come up with the best itineraries will be selected and will each receive NT$7,000 (approx. US$212) per day for up to four days (NT$28,000, approx. US$848, in total), to spend during their trip in Taiwan. The teams will also have a chance to win the grand prize – NT$1,000,000 (approx. US$30,000) to travel in Taiwan for a month!
This serves as a great incentive for people who have been to Taiwan or have been reading and studying much about the local culture and places of the country. Interested teams can enter the contest online from June 1 to June 30 by filling out the “Team Entry Form” in English, Chinese or Japanese; submitting an itinerary, called “Plan for Team Travel in Taiwan,” which should include a clear theme for their tour; and uploading a short video pitch introducing their team members on the contest website.
The team that wins this contest will be selected partly through online voting, which will be conducted from Oct. 1 to 30. Votes received online will be a judging criterion. Final selection of the winning team will be made by a committee organized by the Bureau and the winner will be announced on Nov. 15.
