Canadians have another day or so to enter a contest for a free trip to Taiwan.
To celebrate Taiwan lifting all COVID entry and quarantine requirements in mid-October, Taiwan Tourism Bureau erected a life-sized replica of a traditional Taiwanese house in Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto. By stepping inside the Taiwanese house, consumers had the opportunity to experience Taiwan’s diverse and rich offerings through a fully-immersive audiovisual experience!
Prior to entering, consumers were directed to ItsTimeForTaiwan.com, where they filled out a quick quiz to determine what their ideal Taiwanese vacation is, out of three options: ACTIVE vacation, CULTURAL vacation and LOCAL vacation.
Once their result is loaded, consumers received personalized recommendations for activities in Taiwan that fit their travel style.
* The exciting part: filling out the quiz entered Canadians into a chance to win one round trip Air Canada ticket to Taiwan!
* The (more) exciting part: Canadians still have the chance to enter – the sweepstakes closes on November 18, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
By visiting ItsTimeForTaiwan.com and filling out the required information, consumers will be automatically entered into the sweepstakes, which provides air fare from Toronto to Taiwan via Air Canada.
Added bonus: there is no visa requirement for Taiwan.
