# 2,016 Person Foot Massage Reflexology Guinness World Record By Bianca | Published 2008-07-08 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2016-person-foot-massage-reflexology-guinness-world-record References: [yeinjee](http://yeinjee.com/2008/world-record-for-simultaneous-foot-massage/) Now here's a guerrilla stunt I'd like to participate in! This image shows 2,016 feet getting massaged! This stunt, featuring 1,008 reflexologists and 1,008 volunteer feet, took place July 1 in Taiwan, setting the new [Guinness world record](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-largest-iced-latte) for most foot massages in one place at the time. It was actually a publicity stunt organized by the [Taiwan Tourism Bureau](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-balloon-festival) to encourage the health benefits of Reflexology that visitors can enjoy while in the country. I was lucky enough to get a few foot massages in Beijing, but I can assure you, it was nothing like this! While I prefer the private rooms we went into, this stunt would have been fun to join in on! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Publicity Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/publicitystunts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Guerrilla Stunts in Marketing:** Opportunities for businesses to create unique and attention-grabbing marketing campaigns through unconventional and unexpected tactics. - **Promoting Health Benefits Through Record-breaking:** Utilizing record-breaking events to generate publicity and raise awareness about the health benefits of certain practices or products. - **Group Participation for Publicity:** Engaging large groups of people in a unified activity to create buzz and garner media attention for a brand or cause. ### Who This Affects Most - **Tourism and Travel:** Using innovative and attention-grabbing strategies to promote tourism destinations and activities. - **Health and Wellness:** Employing creative methods to raise awareness about the benefits of specific wellness practices and encourage their adoption. - **Entertainment and Events:** Creating interactive and participatory experiences that offer a unique and memorable form of entertainment for audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air Pressure Extremity Massagers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hand-massager.md) - [Record-Breaking Retailer Slumber Parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-pyjama-gathering.md) - [Scotland-Themed Spa Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-stone-massage.md) - [Back-Targeting Massage Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massage-robot.md) - [Pizza-Themed Spas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-spa.md) - [Reclining Massage Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reclining-massage-bed.md) - [Record-Breaking Community Hikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kathmandu-canada.md) - [Total-Body Massage Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x77-massage-chair.md) - [Personalilzed Robotic Massages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-massages.md)
