Exploring Democracy and Law: A custom-tailored study tour in Taiwan
How we created a memorable in depth study tour for a law association on the theme of Democracy and Law in Taiwan.
Introduction
This case study explores how we successfully designed and executed an immersive study tour for a U.S. bar association, blending Taiwan’s rich history, legal landscape, and technological advancements. Through expert planning and strategic coordination, we delivered a program that exceeded expectations and laid the groundwork for future collaborations.
We received an inquiry from a bar association in the U.S. expressing interest in choosing Taiwan as the destination for their study tour. They were impressed by how our team customized and delivered a thoughtfully tailored itinerary, coordinating visits with government agencies, civil society organizations, bar associations, and tech companies. This made the tour not only memorable and meaningful but also highly impactful.
Background
-
Our client: a Law Association from the U.S., which the main contact was a Taiwanese-American who wanted to create a out-of-the-ordinary study tour showcasing his homeland, Taiwan.
-
The client wanted to highlight Taiwan’s history, traditions, culture, as well as the island’s advancements in technology.
-
Collaborative Planning: we worked closely with the client as part of a team to co-create the itinerary, ensuring it aligns with their vision and objectives.
Event Planning and Coordination
The client had a particular interest in history and democracy, so we arranged a special guided tour at the Human Rights Museum with Mr. Fred Chen, a former political prisoner. He shared his personal story and guided the delegation, providing insight into Taiwan’s journey toward democracy. The tour concluded with a Q&A session.
To enhance the authenticity of the program, we also arranged a visit to a historic tea shop that once served as a secret meeting venue for political dissidents and avant-garde artists.
The study tour combined cultural exploration with professional engagements, as we coordinated business meetings between the main contact, local law associations, and government officials in Taiwan. The biggest challenge was fitting all the activities into the itinerary while ensuring alignment with the overall theme. For instance, we scheduled a visit to the Presidential Office just before the group’s meeting with the Legislative Yuan
Program Highlight
The highlights of the tour was the highly engaging, tailor-made programme, which included exclusive access visits, such as the private tour of the Human Rights Museum with Fred Chen and the meeting with the Presidential Office, Legislative Yuan, and legal professionals. In addition, the Taiwanlook team made sure to provide cultural immersion and activities with a legal twist, involving local voices and suppliers.
Outcome and impact
-
Strengthened Taiwan’s position as a key destination for legal study tours.
-
Established trust with legal professionals and institutions abroad.
-
Open door for Future Opportunities: The success of this tour led to immediate discussions with the client about organizing another in-depth study tour to Taiwan, demonstrating their continued interest and satisfaction.
Conclusion
Through this program, we successfully showcased Taiwan’s legal, historical, and technological significance while meeting the client’s vision. Our strong coordination skills, attention to detail, and ability to curate meaningful experiences ensured an impactful and seamless experience for all participants.
