31 October 2011 - Three KDU Students accompanied by their lecturer Ms. Chris Ong Siew Har, Senior Lecturer of the School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts (SHTCA) left for Taipei, under the sponsorship ofthe Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAJTRA), to attend the 'Destination Marketing EXCO Taiwan 2011' exhibition.
This annual event was first held in 2009 alongside the Taiwan Exhibition & Convention Industry Show. Since then, it has garnered international support and publicity attracting thousands of participants from different regions of the world. For this year's event, TAlTRA decided to upgrade the event to give it a more global appeal and to further add to the diversity of the crowd, by getting students from neighboring countries to get involved in the event as exhibitors. With this purpose in mind, TAITRA sent invitations to leading colleges and universities in Asia (e.g. Thailand, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, etc.) to send exhibition proposals showcasing the cities where they are from. A total of ten foreign teams from at least six different countries were selected and granted lull sponsorship' to participate in the event - KDU SHTCA was one of them, with Chris Ong Siew Har being appointed as one of the 'Judges' for the competition in the event (to select the best student exhibition). The KDU SHTCA team includes the following students: Ms. Koh Yi Sha, Ms. Chiu Mei Syean, Bowie and Mr. Ching Ming Chert.
