“PARIS — Both were ‘boys next door’ who recently converted to Islam and came under
the spell of Islamic jihadists through the Internet. Both were apparently self-radicalized
and traveled to Syria on their own. Both turned to the web to promote the Islamic State,
with one posting images of a female Kurdish soldier’s severed head on his Twitter
profile.” (by Dan Bilefsky and MAÏA de la BAUMENOV, The New York Times, Nov.
19, 2014)
“EUROPE—It says the standoff between government troops and pro-Russian rebels
battling in eastern Ukraine is becoming increasingly entrenched, with the total
breakdown of law and order and the emergence of parallel governance systems in
Donetsk, the largest city under separatist control, and in the rebel-controlled section of
the Luhansk region.” (from Aljazeera English, Nov. 20, 2014)
“TAIPEI, Taiwan—An amendment to the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation,
which not only increases fines for food companies involved in the production of food
products with inappropriate additives and materials but also adds new regulations such
as using electric receipts, holding regular food safety meetings and setting up food labs,
passed a third reading at the Legislative Yuan yesterday.” (by Queena Yen, China Post,
Nov. 19, 2014)
“BEIJING—China’s central bank succumbed to political and market pressure and cut
interest rates for the first time in more than two years, in a sign that the country’s
leadership is leaning toward more sweeping measures to bolster flagging economic
growth.” (by Lingling Wei, The Wall Street Journal, Nov. 2014)
“The executive action announced by President Barack Obama Thursday night is as
much a game changer for labor policy as immigration. He will give some 5 million
undocumented workers — the people who ‘pick our fruit’ and ‘make our beds’ — the
chance to apply for work authorization and relief from deportation. This represents
nearly half the country’s estimated 11.2 million undocumented population, 8.1 million
of whom are in the workforce.” (by E. Tammy Kim, A ljazeera English, Nov. 21, 2014)

於今年 11 月7日至 10 日在臺北世貿展覽館舉辦的 2014 臺北國際旅遊展（The
2014 Ta ipei Inte rnational Travel Fair）吸引了超過 32 萬民眾前往參觀。這是歷年來
參加人數最多的一次，因此吸引不少媒體的目光。
根據聯合國世界觀光組織的統計，在今年的上半年臺灣是擁有最多外來觀光客的
國家，在前一年的 1月及 6月間，臺灣的外國觀光客人數已增加 26.7 個百分比，
比排名於第二的日本所增加的 26.4 個百分比更高。
根據臺灣觀光局的統計，大約九成來到臺灣觀光的外國觀光客是亞洲人，其中三
大來源國分別是中國大陸、日本以及港澳地區。
據估計，在 2015 年左右，臺灣的外國觀光客人數將高達 1千萬人，這正好符合
全球各國外國觀光人數普遍增加的趨勢。
根據聯合國世界觀光組織所做的調查，全球十大熱門觀光景點中的六個景點就分
布在亞洲。
藉由臺灣觀光協會的幫助，未來所舉辦的臺北國際旅遊展將可以擴大舉行，以期
能更有效的行銷臺灣的觀光產業。
