Vienna, Jan. 18 (CNA) Taiwan’s travel industry and Taiwanese communities in Austria successfully showcased Taiwan’s tourism strengths at an annual tourism fair in Vienna recently, with an exhibition of photos of scenic spots, a demonstration of Chinese calligraphy, a tea ceremony, and prize drawings.
Taiwan’s envoy to Austria Chen Lien-gene said Taiwan’s booth at this year’s Ferien-Messe Wien, which took place Jan. 14-17, was among more than 800 exhibitors from 50 countries.
While the Tourism Bureau presented a colorful exhibition featuring Taiwan’s tourist attractions such as the Taipei 101 skyscraper and some mountain resorts, Taiwanese associations in Austria organized folk dance performances and other cultural programs.
A highlight of the Taiwanese exhibition was a prize drawing of round-trip tickets from Vienna to Taipei offered by China Airlines and EVA Airways. The excitement of the prize drawing and quiz contests drew large crowds to Taiwan’s booth, he added.
The international travel and leisure fair attracted more than 200,000 visitors this year and was an important event for airlines, travel agents, tourism establishments and the restaurant business.
