Gamania Brand Director, Ahbin   Olympics 2012, the classic symbol of Olympics, the 5 interlaced Olympic rings hung high on London Bridge.

What would you do, if Taiwan’s tourism is handed down to ordinary people like you and me? You’re thinking, a country’s tourism affect many people’s livelihoods. Such significant task should go through the authority so that it could be packaged nicely and consistently. How could it be left to ordinary civilians, who may do a botched job?    Sweden thinks otherwise. Swedish Tourism Board initiated a campaign, “Curator of Sweden”. The Board thinks that “A country is constituted by people! There is no single channel that could claim to be the sole representative of whole Sweden and therefore, rather
