Taiwan' s Tourism Industry

Today, Taiwan boasts an excellent infrastructure, convenient transportation system, and high-quality communication services. It also has accomplished, in the face of several international energy crises and economic downturns, a remarkable record of economic development and political democracy by the perseverance and unremitting efforts of its people.

Asia accounts for 59.78% of the total world population. In fact, China and India alone constitute about 37% of the world population. The total number of Asian countries is 48, including three of the most powerful forces in the global market, China, India, and Indonesia. Those three countries make up more than 40 percent of the earth’s inhabitants (Moran, Harris, & Moran, 2011, p. 323).

The topic of international relations has been gaining significance in the modern world following the increase in the popularity of globalization and the need for peaceful coexistence between nations. The high rate of advancement of communication technology, complex global economy, faster means of transport and an increase in value for cooperative relationships are vital to the global society (Almoni 1). A positive relationship between countries, especially the neighboring ones is expected to facilitate the formulation of effective trade agreements. In addition, the issue of immigration or movement of people from one country to another cannot

Tourism is somewhat popular in East Timor. Travel sites and companies have created new advertising for the Timorese hotels and results. The government has also improved infrastructure, airports, as well as preserved areas of the natural landscape. The natural beauty of the island makes it attractive to exotic travelers. East Timor as gone to great lengths to establish their government, however the people of East Timor are not particularly skilled and the island lacks high land area for commercial agriculture. For foreign investors, there is no specific benefit for placing very heavy industries in East Timor. In the future, I project a large growth in the tourism industry specifically, making it a

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

Taiwan’s economy ranked the 20th largest in the world in 2014 on a purchasing power basis, and 26th in nominal terms according to IMF data. IMF projected Taiwan’s economy to rank 21th on a purchasing power basis and 22rd in nominal terms in 2016. Its economy is well developed and it’s growing at a stable rate. Since 1992, Taiwan’s GDP growth has an average 4.5%. Its GDP per capita raised from $9,116 in 1992 to $19,762 in 2012. Taiwan has experienced rapid expansion in international trade. In 1992, Taiwan’s total trade was over $180 billion and represented 82% of GDP. In 2012, Taiwan’s trade was over $650 billion and represented 140% of GDP. In 2012, over 77% of Taiwan imports were of agricultural goods and raw materials due to limited arable land and natural resources. While only around 1% of exports were from agricultural goods, the rest 99% of exports were from industrial sector (Meltzer, 2014). Therefore, agricultural goods are highly demanded in Taiwan.

China is only flourishing as the years go by, and it is only going to continue to flourish because of the way society is brought upon them. It is essential to know the importance of tourism and all the positive and negative attributes it has to offer. China is the “world’s second largest travel and tourism economy after the United States by 2015”, according to a new report from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). China’s tourist appeal is very different from any other countries outside of East Asia, offering a variety of things to do and places to visit. China is an exotic country with new sights and experiences to enjoy, and has an extraordinary culture waiting for you to discover. “English is rarely spoken by locals, and seemingly everything about the culture is backwards from what you know, but if you 're up for the challenge, you 'll be rewarded with a truly spectacular experience” (Vans Hinbergh).

Hong Kong has been commonly constructed as and known to both tourists as a thoroughly metropolitan city, of which its modern architecture, especially with its densely populated skyline around the Victoria Harbour, and boisterous and fast paced lifestyle involving non-stop eating and shopping take centre stage as a few of Hong Kong’s many selling points (Choi, Chan & Wu, p 364). Much of Hong Kong’s status as an economic success could be attributed to its harbour. After Hong Kong was ceded to the British after the First Opium war with the Chinese Qing dynasty in 1842, the island, which was previously a sleepy “collection of fishing villages” (Choi, 2007, p.8), became one of Britain’s most important trading ports for spices and tea from China (p. 9). The development of Hong Kong under British colonial rule has undoubtedly influenced the character of Hong Kong as a tourist destination, with many of its promoted sites, such as the tramways on Hong Kong Island, the Peak tram up Victoria Peak, and the Star Ferry all being historical modes of public transportation still operating today. This tour will focus on the Star Ferry, exploring its symbolic importance to Hong Kong identity and how past and contemporary events that have occurred in the physical area of the Star Ferry Pier where the ferry operates from have been discursively co-opted into, and representative of a greater contestation of hegemonic ideologies surrounding Hong Kong’s identity, as part of an “opposition

The interaction of the trade activities between Mainland China and Taiwan always “successfully” draws attention from the global, but this time the fuel is directly presented in the manifesto of the Sunflower Movement--堅持，直到島嶼天光. “The campaign of the occupation lays the advantages as well as the disadvantages of the CSSTA under the sun stark naked; unfortunately, the pact is already passed. The forced adoption by the KMT highlights the Ma government’s arbitrary abuse of the power and infringement of the human right, leading to the constitutional crisis of the retrogression in democracy. It meanwhile stimulates civilians to ponder the rebirth of democracy.” (堅持，直到島嶼天光, see footnote , translation mine). People

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators.

The destination I would like to choose and provide an overview is Hong Kong. Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions of the People 's Republic of China; the other is Macau.

As well as making up the bulk of Hong Kong 's land mass, the New Territories also incorporates 262 outlying islands,

Along with the improvement of living standard and changing consumption structure, the tourism industry in China is now a blooming industry. There has been a variety of definition regarding tourist product since the early 1970s. One of those definitions that became most influential was proposed by Middleton and Victor (1988), in which a basic distinction was made before defining tourist products. The total tourist product can be defined as the combination of all the elements consumed by a tourist during his or her trip. The specific tourist products are regarded as the components of the total tourist product which can be individually offered to tourists, such as accommodation, transport, attractions as well as other
