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.
