In December 2024, IHG Hotels & Resorts partnered with Welcome Wonder Travel, a leading Taiwan-based DMC, to co-host two exclusive familiarization (FAM) tours. This initiative welcomed elite representatives from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, including travel agencies, MICE planners, and PR professionals, offering them a curated journey through IHG’s premium properties in Taiwan.
The tours were jointly executed by both parties, with IHG showcasing its luxury hotel portfolio and service standards, while Welcome Wonder Travel provided expertly designed itineraries that integrated cultural exploration, seamless logistics, and personalized local experiences.
Participants visited and experienced the following IHG properties across Taiwan:
🏨 Kimpton Da An Hotel Taipei
🏨 InterContinental Taichung
🏨 Hotel Indigo Alishan
🏨 InterContinental Kaohsiung
🏨 Holiday Inn Express Chiayi
🏨 voco Chiayi
These immersive site visits were enhanced by thoughtfully arranged cultural highlights, gourmet dining, and behind-the-scenes experiences that demonstrated Taiwan’s readiness for the luxury and incentive travel market. Each location showcased its own distinctive charm—from boutique urban elegance to mountain tranquility and vibrant harbor views.
“At Welcome Wonder Travel, we believe luxury travel is about meaningful storytelling and seamless execution,” said the company representative. “Partnering with IHG allows us to merge international hotel excellence with Taiwan’s authentic local character.”
The program not only reinforced Taiwan’s position as a rising destination for incentive travel, executive retreats, and high-end FITs, but also marked a milestone in the cooperation between global hotel groups and Taiwanese DMCs.
Welcome Wonder Travel remains committed to collaborating with prestigious brands like IHG to craft exceptional travel experiences that invite the world to see Taiwan through a new lens of elegance and innovation.
