Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Taiwan

How society is observed as it transmits to air travel has a great deal to do with September 11, 2001. As a result of this tragic event, the judgments of the world have become increasingly profound to the background of passengers traveling on planes. It has shaped something of a undesirable perception for particular cultures and beliefs. This discourages people to travel with other passengers or airline, directly affects the airline industry (Reilly.N.J, 2010)

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011 prompted the world to reevaluate and drastically modify airport and airline security. “Four targets had been chosen, all iconic American buildings that would send a clear message of the depth of their hatred for the United States. All four planes crashed, killing all on board—terrorists, crew members, and passengers, along with hundreds who were killed inside the structures, on the ground, and the men and women who ran into collapsing buildings in an effort to try and save others” (Smutz 1). As Jason Villemez said “the decade after the 9/11 attacks reshaped many facets of life in America” (Villemez 1). Before the attacks, people did not think that large

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 shook the United States in a profound way, deeply upsetting the national perception of safety within U.S. borders. No industry or sector of the economy felt the impacts of these events more than the airline industry. Both the immediate reaction to the attacks and the long-term repercussions have negatively affected the industry. Today’s airline industry is much different than it was prior to September 11. There is a much smaller work force, more low-cost carriers, more security and more fees associated with flying.

Signed into law in 2002 by President George W. Bush, the Homeland Security Act established the Department of Homeland Security to prevent terrorist attacks, minimize any damage to the nation’s citizens, and reduce the country’s vulnerability to terrorism. In response to 9/11, the government, as well as the airline industry, has gone through many changes. As of result of 9/11, the airline industry lost a total of $7.7 billion. This paper reviews the reasons behind the making of the Homeland Security Act, the effects of 9/11 on the airline industry and the government, the purpose of the Homeland Security Act, and the aftermath of the Homeland Security Act.

According to “Terror attacks have cost travel industry $8.2 Billion,” written by Kathleen Burke, acts of terrorism cause the thought process of travelers to change, impacting the places individuals wish to travel further impacting tourist locations subjected to terror attacks. 1. Because of the attacks, and the fear it brought about in travelers, according to Fainstein, around 3,400 hotel workers were laid off as well as a decrease in foreign travelers who were considered a lucrative

September 11, 2001, was a horrific event that rocked the world and the way people viewed the safety of airline travel. The airline industry was hit the hardest after that day and it was uncertain if they could regain their customer’s

A study of Hong Kong cases revealed that several factors contributed to the spread and treatment of this virus. These included weather, quarantine, personal protective gear, and possibly animal transmission (Lin, Yee-Tak Fong, Zhu, & Karlberg, 2005).

Studies have shown that childhood immunizations nonmedical exemptions have been increasing in many states. This issue creates a public treat. With the utmost concern, when a public treat continues to be a challenge for the public health, further actions on the policy level need to be initiated and actively maintained to ensure public safety. Growing concern shows that higher incidents of nonmedical exemptions calls for new and improved health policies that can lower theses occurrences. New and innovative approaches need to be implemented in order to ensure diseases that are preventable by vaccinations do not impose health threat to the public.

Tourism plays an important role in the economy of a country. It is also one of the strongest drivers of world trade and prosperity. However the correlation between terrorism and tourism is undeniable. There are number of cases where it is visible that the terrorist attacks have caused a number of problems for tourist activity in a country. Places such as airports are not free from security breaches, therefore a set of new security measures have been implemented by the International Air Transport Association and the International Civil Aviation Organization (Beirman, 2011).

SARS, also known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, caused a major epidemic in 2002-2003. The virus had originated in the middle east area from a mammal group handled and bred in the first effect area. The virus had developed and was transmitted to the people handling the animals. The handlers would contract the virus and then would spread it to others around them. The disease was able to be transferred or passed on to others by means of close contact and or the air. The virus itself was not noticeable unless tested or until it had further developed. Anyone who had contracted the disease only showed flu like symptoms when first diagnosed with the virus. However, these would soon worsen and even take the lives of people. Though it only affected

Have you ever heard of the 9/11 tourist attack on the twin towers, which were in New York and are now gone because tourists crashed planes in the two towers while killing hundreds of people. Now because of tourism thousands of lives are endangered. But tourism is not just in one spot it is now WORLD WIDE!!! Did you know that 20,487 people died in 2006 because of tourist attacks, 22,719 people died in 2007, 15,708 people died in 2008, 15,310 people died in 2009, 13,186 people died in 2010, 12,533, people died in 2011, 11,098 people died in 2012, 18,066 people died in 2013, 32,727 people died in 2013, and 32,727 people died in 2014 because of tourist

H1N1 Flu Virus: The threat and the spread of the Swine Flu virus and other viruses has had a negative effect on the airline and travel industry in general. With the recent fear of the H1N1 flu virus, many potential clients of the airline have been hesitant to travel, not only to Mexico where the virus seems to have originated from, but also negatively affecting other destinations

SARS is known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. SARS is caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). There is no known vaccine for SARS; however, most people can recover from SARS or even maintain the disease with the help of therapy and advanced machines.

From an environmental perspective, it is apparent that the world is starting to realise that increases in tourism are having a negative impact on the environment. This is due to increases in energy consumption, which in turn heightens the effects of global warming (Neto, 2002). There are many controls that governments are trying to put into place, such as flight rationing (Liverpool Business School, 2009). However, it can be argued that these have not really begun to have a significant effect on tourism, as they are still insufficient to dampen demand. It may become a problem in future years, as the number of controls is likely to increase. Perhaps the largest environmental factor would be natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina (Cashell, 2005) and the tsunami that hit Asia in December 2004 (Birkland, 2006). These will impact negatively on people’s confidence in visiting places that have been hit severely by such disasters.

On the other hand governments support aviation industry by building airports, roads and hotels near airports, because they recognize this industry as an important ingredient for economic well-being. In addition governments arrange security at the airports to ensure safe journey. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have had negative implications for the industry. Over the years, all the airlines have changed their routes, marketing tactics and prices; they are also making an effort to reduce the fear and negative image associated with air-planes. Governments have imposed strict security checks on air travel passengers in order to avoid any unforeseen terrorist activity.
