Taiwan Quick Take: `Brokeback' tours on offer

A local travel agency has begun offering "Brokeback Mountain" tour specials, with a special discount on offer for gay couples. The package includes a 9-day trip to many of the locations where the movie was filmed, including Kananaskis Country provincial parkland, Fort Macleod, Blackie and Crossfield in Alberta Province, Canada. Highlights of the NT$75,900 (US$2,340) tour include a "Rocky Mountain nature adventure," with horse-riding, visits to national parks, hot springs and glaciers, as well as a visit to Victoria on Vancouver Island. The package, which covers lodging, airfare and activities, has been created by Taipei-based Lion Travel, which will award a NT$5,000 discount for bookings made before March 30. It is also offering a more unique promotion: couples who tell the travel agency that they are gay and wish to share the same bed will receive an additional NT$5,000 discount.
