JK NOTE: LIBERTY TIMES HAS ERRONEOUSLY PLACED JERRY'S FAN MEETING DATE ON OCTOBER 28. THIS SHOULD BE OCTOBER 27.
F4 Jerrry Yan, Vic "Zai Zai" Chou, Vanness Wu and Ken Chu
will meet their fans for the last time as tourism ambassadors
for "Wish to See You in Taiwan" Fans Meeting on October 28
F4 successfully sucks in money again as they hold their 2nd "Wish To See You in Taiwan" Fans Meeting on October 28 at the University of Taiwan Gym. As of yesterday, over 6000 Japanese and Korean fans had already booked, exceeding the 5000 mark during their 1st Fans Meeting last April, thereby adding again more than $170 million foreign revenues into Taiwan tourism. According to statistics, total foreign revenues including promo sales through F4, had already reached $1 billion for the Taiwanese tourism industry.
F4 Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu and Ken Chu reunited as a group to be the Official Taiwanese Ambassadors for Tourism and in their 2nd Fans meeting on October 28, they would wrap up their tourism duties and go solo again.Because this is F4's final fans meeting, Japanese and Korean tourist groups will come in even greater star chase force to Taiwan, along with fans from Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and many more countries.
According to reports, more than 6000 fans already booked. Compared from last April, the 3days-2nights hotel package now only have 2 types - the "economy" which costs Y70,000 (about NT$20,000) and the "luxury" which costs Y120,000 (about NT$33,000). With the airfare, food expenses plus the purchase of related goods, each of the over 6000 fans would spend an average of around NT$35,000, which will bring about 170 million revenues to Taiwan tourism.
In order to entertain the fans, the Tourism Bureau would prepare a "singing with the fans" portion with F4. As they made snacks and tea last April, this time they can perhaps dance and then ask the fans to dance with them to get it high! Tourism Bureau International Groups Director Liu Xi Lin said, they hope they can let fans get even closer to F4 during this Fan meeting.
After F4 wraps up their contract with the Tourism Bureau, show the idol drama with Vic Chou entitles "Right Here Waiting For You" and this final Fans Meeting, Vic will have New Album launching at the Nangang 101 on the 27th, and hold his Solo Fans Meeting on the 28th.
