According to the GACC Secretary-General (李厚慶), 15 groups of proposers from 12 nations were ultimately chosen from 28 countries and close to 100 groups of registration materials during the two-month period for collecting ideas. The fact that there are much more opinion leaders with knowledge-based platforms distinguishes this year's candidates from those of the previous year. Along with tourism, there are more individuals who are passionate about art, gastronomy, and history.
