Travel Massive Toronto Members Win Trip to Taiwan The Same Night

This was a different kind of event than others we have hosted because guests had two requirements to attend – they needed to bring their passport and a carry-on.

In 2016, Taiwan was selected as one of the top-16 up-and-coming destinations by CNN and this September Travel Massive in Toronto was hosted by Taiwan Tourism for a cocktail reception to explore why this destination is so talked about!

The event introduced us to this island-nation’s iconic street foods and traditions, and between networking and mix and mingling with travel professionals in the industry, the community also took to social media to enter for a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime giveaway. Over the years, we’ve given away many trips but this would be a first for even this veteran chapter!

We were about to give away a trip for two lucky community members to jet set on a spontaneous weekend away – leaving that night.

All guests had to do was tweet and share why YOU want to go to Taiwan using #TaiwanNowBoarding.

Courtesy of EVA Airways and Taiwan Tourism, Maiku Wong and Ryan Woods walked off (we mean, more like bolted away) to the airport in a matter of minutes with nothing but their backpacks and passport in hand. They were chauffeured in style by limousine to the airport and, in just a matter of hours, they found themselves in a 5-star hotel in Taipei.

This is surely a story not to be missed, check it out on video:
