Dear Taichung Happiers,

Apparently, another trip should take this lovely bro to another loveable location--Taiwan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jDzVDZj83s

We can talk about travel perpetually, yet, what on earth do we travel for? English writer, poet, and philosopher Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) soulfully submitted this sheer spectacle. “The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.” Travel is nothing but thriving in a new way of looking at things. How can we tempt tourists into having new eyes after completing a Taiwan tour? In fact, tourism promotion provides us new possibilities to look deeper inside ourselves, to lift local businesses, to cheer on job creations, and to become better global citizens sharing without boundaries. However, tourism is absolutely not only about what we can offer to tourists—but also about how to make tourists feel the heat from this land, the heat from culture in this land, and the heat from the heart of everyone of this land. Ladies and gentlemen, your participation will be a big thanks to our host Eric Cheng for inviting Happiers to "visit" Taiwan again to fulfill a greater vision.

Nation Branding is the air supporting the sustainability of tourism. So, what kind of “air” is there in France? "Were you in Paris on your vacation?" “I don’t know, my wife got the tickets.” Well, Nation Branding starts with confirming a competitive convenience. So, what unique personality of Taiwan can help produce a portrait with an authentic identity? A healthy global image relies heavily on visual advertising (or online platform) as well as infrastructures for transportation, sports event participation, and culture/art exhibition. The next process is to cultivate the capacity of planning more partnership. The best example is the long stay of Director Ang Lee and the production team to shoot 90% of the film Life of Pi in Taiwan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3DkxxRQdpw It’s such a competent way to communicate our competitive edge with visitors--when people evolve, the nation is also constantly in the state of transformation--most importantly, after winning top honors, Director Ang Lee keeps engaging in more meaningful interactions based on the clear and concise image of Taiwan experiences. https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/movies/2016/06/09/director-ang-lee-edge-and-provincetown/OyHHhJA4II93STZMOHLhsJ/story.html Oh, tell me, please, can tourism in Taiwan be Pi or the tiger? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZEZ35Fhvuc

Culture Tourism is the water proving soft power is more than powerful. Culture, art, lifestyle, and history are all related to Culture Tourism. Here comes the "River of Stars" promotion for Hollywood Culture Tourism. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qr69jLeQdRA Recently, the biggest local pride of Taichung Happiers is about National Taichung Theater. For the fluid interconnections with nature and visitors, the philosophy of this architecture has been fully prepared inside out. (Starts at 26:42) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFgCHxrJAOA Furthermore, true everyday life is travel; true travel is everyday life. Our best friend Albert Einstein simply put: "The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind ... is akin to that of the religious worshipper or the lover; the daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program, but straight from the heart." Having won numerous international Awards, the Founder of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, Hwai-Min Lin modestly marked the audience as his best trainer. Besides, due to his personal mission statement to serve more, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan has been doing Tourism Promotion with our culture identity every time everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGqUa8Eo-yw See? To translate Taiwan into Love and Freedom, a culture of giving is craved. Giving is the most colorful and beautiful magic. This POP POP POP story states more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKAk28vK3CM

An Ambassador without the title is the sunshine spreading the word farther and wider. “Hey, what people travel the most?” “Romans.” So, how to make Romans the best ambassadors? The gifted Russian-born American journalist and educator Max Lerner (December 20, 1902 – June 5, 1992) asserted: “The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence.” Hummm…….How do you define excellence? Jeremy Lin, the inspirational Ambassador, although without this title, can dramatically drive Taiwan known globally--not only because of his superstar status, but also because of his unbelievable passion, persistence, and partnership with charitable events. https://zh-tw.facebook.com/jlinfoundation/ People travel for experiences and well-being. Due to the technology advancement, tourism will be more and more complicated and challenging--it’s the exact reason why we need these epic Ambassadors. So, let’s meet another shining ambassador—the mind-blowing message will stir visitors’ emotions to meditate further about well-being. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STPJaGFtbAA Ambassadors without the title can be the assessment experiment of the Nation Branding results—the more ambassadors we have, the more blossoming our nation brand is. Now, relax, please. Look at these Lions! Sharing joy and hope, the circles and circles on these lions are connecting the characters of our ambassadors with everlasting light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omC6ObcYRXY&app=desktop

With respect, let us also follow the path The Ambassador of Poetry, Professor Yu, Kwang-chung pioneered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8nxoJlxXAY

Tourism promotion can be the Celebration of Culture and Character. Before promoting tourism, be a domestic tourist commended by the catalyst of more curiosity. Meanwhile, breathe the nation brand to make visitors not able to stop feeling our culture--everyone can learn to become a luminous ambassador. Yes! Join us. Thanks!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Iu06b_Nfg
