    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/23/2016 GAIN Report Number: TW16038 Taiwan Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional 2016 Annual Approved By: Chris Frederick Prepared By: Cleo Fu Report Highlights: This report provides an overview of the Taiwan’s foodservice industry and its various sub-sectors. The foodservice industry continued to expand with an economic contribution of NT$424 billion (US$12.82 billion) in 2015. Strong sales trends were also seen in the first three-quarters in 2016, despite a decline in tourism from mainland China. Post: Taipei ATO SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the economic output of Taiwan’s food service sector, excluding institutional food service, is estimated at US$12.82 billion in 2015, a 2.7 percent increase from 2014. The increase in tourist arrivals helped drive foodservice revenue growth. Other factors such as the rise in consumer income, smaller family size, a growing number of working women, development of e-commerce, drive the food service sector. Source: Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) Taiwan consumers enjoy a very diverse food environment. In addition to traditional Chinese food cuisines, Japanese BBQ (Yakiniku), hot pot (shabu shabu), Thai foods, Italian cuisines, western fast foods and several other ethnic varieties are seen everywhere. As food trends change, many of these cuisines, do not stay popular for long, and only a few types of cuisines become integrated into local food culture.

  • The Impact of the Physical Attractiveness and Intellectual Competence on Loyalty

Based on the past literature regarding the factors of loyalty, the study considers physical attractiveness and intellectual competence combined with a traditional loyalty model in proposing its conceptual framework. It then estimates the relevant parameters using a linear structural equation model (SEM). The subjects of the study consist of consumers in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, aged at least 20 years old who have experience in engaging the services of real estate companies during housing transactions. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, with 268 valid ones being returned, for a valid return rate of 89.33%. According to the empirical results, physical attractiveness indirectly influences satisfaction through trust and intellectual competence, with satisfaction in turn affecting customer loyalty. The effect of physical attractiveness on satisfaction through trust is more significant than its effect on satisfaction through intellectual competence.

    EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION Taipei, a City That Never Sleeps metropolis of international caliber, each year Taipei joins the great global celebration A of Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The joyful sounds and smells and sights of boisterous celebration fill the entire metropolis. As “Merry Christmas!” and “Happy New Year!” greetings resound, the distance between Taipei and the world noticeably shrinks. City nights sparkle with light, splendor, action, and vitality, greeting visitors from overseas with a warm Taiwan- style embrace, and inviting them to personally experience the wonderful, action-filled “City That Never Sleeps” (臺北夜未眠)! In this issue, we bring you to the city’s frontlines for fashion. We bring you “Taipei’s Manhattan” (臺北的曼哈頓), the Xinyi Commercial District, a grand bazaar home to upscale department stores, the massive exhibition halls of the Taipei World Trade Center, chic restaurants, sleek theaters, steamy nightspots, and many other examples of the international- caliber voguish vanguard. Here is a veritable pleasure vault of shopping and leisure- entertainment stimulation. Taipei 101 and the eslite Xinyi flagship bookstore, the largest bookstore in this country, are just two of the numerous iconic architectural sirens that draw you in with their magnetic allure. Within Taipei 101, you’ll find OTOP, a hall selling and displaying the finest of Taiwan’s regional handicraft and food items; here you will find the quintessential “flavors” of this land, a perfect place to pick up Taiwan mementoes and gift items. In this issue, we also prime you with details on the myriad Parade Carnival (遊行嘉年華) and New Year’s activities in December, both organized by the Taipei City Government.

  • Protected Areas and Indigenous People in Taiwan
    Department of Urban Studies and Planning The University of Sheffield Territoriality, Resistance and Indigenous Development in Protected Areas: A Political Ecology Analysis of Truku People in Eastern Taiwan Wu-Long Jhuang A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 ABSTRACT Indigenous areas in Taiwan were a ‘special administrative region’ during the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945). The Japanese police controlled the primary aspects of everyday life of indigenous people. Some policies concerning indigenous people have been continued in the post-colonial regimes of Han Chinese until now. Protected areas (PAs) have been established since the 1980s by central government when Taiwan was still under the martial law. National parks are typical protected area with rigorous conservation restrictions. Some protected areas actually overlapped with the traditional domains of indigenous people. Community conservation is a participatory protected area and has emerged around the 1990s. It is seen as a reform of fortress protected areas such as parks because it integrates both objectives of conservation and development. The rolling back of the state and empowerment of the local community are assumed to be the features of such a reformed policy. Community conservation has become popular among indigenous communities of Taiwan since 2000. This study aims to look at the interactions between state authorities and local indigenous people in PAs. Two Truku villages in east Taiwan were selected as case studies, as one is in Taroko National Park while the other conducted a community conservation project in the 2000s. Qualitative methods were employed for data collection. Drawing from the theory of political ecology, a framework is constructed drawing together human territoriality, resistance, and social impacts.
