ABC Radio
National, Australia, 2-27-2020:
What's most apparent when visiting
Taiwan is how ordinary it is — ordinary
in the sense of normal, everyday,
functional.
ps: In Taiwan, the houses/buildings are
expensive "property", instead of
"architecture arts", the cars are
for transportation or for business,
always square shape with boring color,
black, gray, etc, hard to see a
sports-car,
convertible
or
a VW bug with clockwork on its butt ,
anyway, unlike those in the US with
great vitality
!
●
Apple Daily editorial, 1-5-2021:
chaos !
Taiwanese people lost confidence in gov. pork-food control strategy. A
famous shop "Formosa Chang" was
questioned too. AP 11-23-2020:
Taiwanese
business may not be ethical ... mix the
U.S. pork ( Ractopamine
pork banned by 150+ countries
) with Taiwan pork.
●
Liberty Times, 6-15-2020, editorial: Taiwanese
always love traveling abroad rather than
domestically. Majority of foreign
tourists to Taiwan came from China, but
most of their consumption-profits are
monopolized by Chinese-funded and
Chinese-associated businesses.
All these have made Taiwan's tourism
industry weak and
sluggish-demanded. It
is undeniable Taiwan tourism needs to be
improved the following items :
●
Korean ilbe(일베저장소、일베)slams
Taiwan's messy & dirty environment,
cultural
deprivation、
unpretty women、
the sense of Japanese
identification,
which triggers hot argues after
mainland Chinese posting Chinese
version of it (Sept. 2020)。
WEF <Travel
and tourism competitiveness report> of 9-4-2019 shows
Taiwan had the sub-region's largest
decline in competitiveness
(30th to 37th), due to significantly
tightened visa requirements (37th to 119th),
waning cultural resources and business
travel (26th to 36th) and recalibrated
figures showing a drastic reduction in
protected areas (20th to 118th),
etc;

solo tourists from heading to Taiwan.

blow for Taiwan’s tourism industry.
L.A. Times, 8-1-2019: The
indefinite suspension is likely to prove
a major economic hit to Taiwan, as well
as a blow to cultural interplay.
Liberty Times 8-28-2019: Taiwan may loss
35,400 million dollars from the gross
annual value of tourism in the second
half of 2019. United Daily
(8-17-2019, editorial) : Very most part
of Taiwan's current tourism difficult
situation is caused by
cross-Taiwan-Strait policy.
United Daily (8-22-2019, editorial) :
Pension reform might be among key issues
in Taiwan's tourism, because public
servants, military and education field
no longer
support domestic
travel as much as before.
United Daily (8-28-2019, Focus) :
Visa-free and allowance can save
tourism? Lots of allowances were
given to domestic tourists, but the
number of Taiwanese traveling overseas
hit new high again and again.
United Daily (8-23-2019) : Taiwan
president Tsai: tourism won't go old
route, current policy is to balance
tourists flow, stimulate domestic
demand, increase consumption-amount,
satisfy tourist's appetite by bubble tea
and local cuisine.
The
United Daily, editorial opinion,
7-15-2019 : An American economist Tyler
Cowen was surprised at that Taipei was
spinning its wheels, remains 85%
unchanged (making smallest differences
among Asian cities), motorcycles, small
lanes ... everywhere, in contrast,
GuangZhou city (廣州) has changed 90%, HK,
Seoul, Singapore made huge differences
only within 10 years ...; Apple
Daily, opinion, 12-25-2019: Give up "almozo"
promote-tourism policy, select "quality oriented" route ! Nikkei Asia Review
4-30-2019:
Since 2016, China has attempted to
punish Tsai (DPP) by reducing tour
groups to Taiwan, but inbound tourists
have steadily set records surpassing 11
millions for the first time last year... The
United Daily 3-7-2019: Taiwan's tourism
output value is suffering wallet
homicide ! the deficit of foreign
exchange is NT1728 billions, the deficit
of the number of tourists is 5570
thousands. The
United Daily 10-6-2018 editorial
opinion: Taiwan's 'heresy' policy of
tourism (subsidies, visa-free) led to
800+ billion dollars decrease of
earnings, because of lower consuming
ability of South Eastern Asian tourists and
smaller number of Chinese tourists.
Apple Daily, head-page,
12-31-2018: The amount of tourists
spending per day and the number of days tourists staying decreased.

●

Daily, opinion, 2-12-2018: lacking of
monument elements, mature cultural
creativity, and inexpensive tour-site
hotels ... shallow, careless,
low-end quality led to an extremely low return
visitor rate to Taiwan.
Apple Daily,
Headline news 1-15-2018: Taiwan
tourism collapsed like a snow-slide,
the number of tourists to Kenting National Park(墾丁貓鼻頭)
dropped 59%, to Taroko National Gorge

lot and local people don't like those

traffic, getting ripped-off by greedy
shops' ...
