What is WorldMUN? To most, what comes in mind is a scene painted with business attire, the air finely tuned with fluent English. Some think of the multi-culture exposure and enticing social events. Few notice the careful work of accommodation preparation.


After a long flight, once delegates land in Taiwan, the immediate next stop is the hotel. Though the conference hall and event locations attract all the spotlight, hotels account for a large part of their stay in Taiwan. The quality of the hotel services provided has a direct impact on the image of the Host City.


There is a list of elements crucial to a successul hotel.To name a few, fair price, decent upholstery, tidiness, comprehensive services, convenient trasportation, etc. What we, the Division of Accommodation, work on this summer is to ready ourselves and dish out the best collection of hotels. In keeping with this aim, we have been sifting through countless critical websites in town and abroad, weighing between the pros and cons of each and dashing through the hustel and bustle of Taipei.


During our investigation visits, we came to notice a rapidly growing industry. Taipei is now gathering momentum in the development of the MICE industry (Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, Exhibitions), a highly active industry abroad. The rapid pace of MICE development in Taiwan has moved up the value and advanced progress in the hotel industry. What we witness is a wave of renewed traditional hotels and the rising trend in Boutique Hotels. In addition, because of the increase in business traveler worldwide, hotels in Taipei are better aware and ready to serve international travelers.


With such readiness and experiences, we believe hotels in Taipei are more than capable of offering delegates a sense of home. The Division of Accommodation will see to it that delegates feel at home during their stay in this lovely city, Taipei!
