Joanne is the director of Rotation Management Consultant LTD. Travel has become an important part of life for many people. It has also been a focus of social media discussions for many years.While still in school, I came in contact with different types of real estate training programs. This led to an unexpected interest in regional economics and the desire to combine work and travel. What has resulted has been a more than decade-long career in creative design and regional marketing. During this time, I set goals at different stages based on my love of the land. For example, in 2017, I attended a GSTC training course and found similarities between what was presented and my ideas. This led me to search for ways to promote sustainability. Thereafter, I completed Travelife and Green Destination training courses and worked to elevate places, while persisting with efforts to “let the world see the beauty of this land, Taiwan.”
