Post-Pandemic Incentive Travel Survey reveals 60% of respondents choose Taiwan

as their top post-pandemic travel destination

The Asia Super Team (AST) international competition, organized by Taiwan's

Bureau of Foreign Trade, MOEA, has entered its eighth year. The competition

introduces a new theme and unique competitive content each year to create buzz

for and present the diverse facets of incentive travel in Taiwan. Chubb Vietnam

was crowned the competition's champion. Chubb Vietnam received the grand

incentive travel prize worth USD50,000.

Post-pandemic Incentive Travel Survey: Taiwan voted as top post-pandemic travel

destination

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of companies around the world were

forced to cancel or delay their incentive travel plans in 2021. This year, MEET

TAIWAN specifically surveyed business travelers from eight countries in Asia,

Europe and the United States regarding their intentions for incentive travel.

The results showed that destination safety and epidemic prevention policies

were their top considerations when selecting an incentive travel destination.

Among the surveyed persons, over 60% ranked Taiwan as their top choice for an

incentive travel destination in Asia. This clearly represents the international

recognition of Taiwan's epidemic prevention performance, indicating greater

potential for attracting overseas incentive travel groups to visit Taiwan after

the pandemic.

Nine Asian countries competed in a virtual arena—the first ever Cloud Travel

Interactive Platform

Asia Super Team's online competition model was significantly upgraded for 2021.

Utilizing the first ever Cloud Travel Interactive Platform, AST's Future

Land-themed virtual arena was created. Representatives of companies from Japan,

Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam

were invited to compete. For the first time, this year Taiwanese companies were

also invited to try out for a local team, adding more intensity to the online

competition. The competition also incorporated podcasts, blog posts, treasure

hunts, virtual painting and other exclusive, innovative challenges for the

first time. The aim of these challenges was to build excitement and imagination

for Taiwan incentive travel in the minds of business travelers. A virtual

system was added, enabling teams from each country to exchange their virtual

assets for Taiwan Excellence specialty gifts shown in the platform's gift

section—perfect souvenirs to remember their virtual journey through Taiwan.

The finalist competitions were held online, and results were decided by online

voting and a professional judging team. Chubb Vietnam, a major travel insurance

provider, received the highest overall score and was named the 2021 champion,

winning a Taiwan incentive travel package worth USD50,000, which the company

will get to enjoy once the pandemic subsides.
