This may be a good idea, but it may have some legal implication. Who would be the entity that collect the money and at what title would do that. If it act in a way that is similar to a travel agent it would be required by law(*) to be registered as travel agent. But perhaps the thing is doable by stating that the money are not for travel/accommodation only but for cultural purpose. (*) for sure by Italian law, but if I remember correctly this is a requirement that came from an European Union directive, so there should be similar law in other EU countries. If such a thing would be set up, not only the people in that country could benefit, but also the people in many other countries in Europe since the transfer fee to another EU country would be minimal compared to an EU/Taiwan transfer.
