A Milestone Year for Skal International Taipei
2025 is a year of dual celebrations:
• January 8: The beginning of President Windy’s term.
• May 5: Skal International Taipei’s 55th Anniversary, a momentous occasion that highlights the club’s long-standing commitment to fostering business and friendship among tourism professionals.
In alignment with her presidency, President Windy aims to:
1. Strengthen bonds with Skal Taipei’s four twinning clubs:
• Tokyo 🇯🇵
• Makati 🇵🇭
• Cusco 🇵🇪
• Pretoria 🇿🇦
2. Collaborate on a grand scale by participating in:
• The Skal Asia Congress in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
• The Skal World Congress in Cusco, Peru.
3. Promote hot spring tourism and wellness as a cornerstone of Taipei’s tourism offerings:
“Love You, Love Me”: 2025 and Hot Spring Wellness
In Mandarin, “2025” sounds like “Love You, Love Me,” a phrase symbolizing harmony and well-being. For President Windy, this reflects the spirit of her presidency:
• “Love You”: Representing the rejuvenating power of Taiwan’s hot springs.
• “Love Me”: Advocating self-care, happiness, and health.
This theme resonates with her personal and professional mission to elevate hot spring wellness tourism globally.
