大陆游客为台湾经济带来活力

瑞银(UBS)估计，今年大陆赴台游客预计将达到230万名，而2010年大陆赴台游客仅30万名。巴克莱(Barclays)经济学家梁伟豪(Waiho Leong)说，这些游客正给台湾经济带来急需的提振。尽管出口下降导致上一季度台湾经济萎缩0.2%，但台湾目前的失业率却接近4年来的最低点。

That job creation, he says, is largely because of growing demand for retail and travel-related services.

梁伟豪说，主要是因为零售业和旅游相关服务业的需求不断增加，拉动了就业。

Nearly half the net 77,600 jobs created in the first half of the year were in hotels, restaurants and shops, while manufacturing lost 4,400 jobs, according to UBS.

瑞银数据显示，今年上半年台湾净增工作岗位7.76万个，其中近一半是酒店业、餐饮和商店岗位，而制造业岗位减少了4400个。

In the past two years, the W Hotel and Le Méridien opened their first sites in Taipei, and the country’s tourism board says at least 40 more hotels are planned, with a total investment of T$74bn ($248m). In the Taipei 101 skyscraper, where tourists line up to visit the viewing deck, many luxury brands have opened stores, among them Burberry, the UK group.

过去两年里，W饭店(W Hotel)和寒舍艾美酒店(Le Méridien)均首次把店开到了台北。另外，台湾观光局表示，现阶段拟建酒店至少还有40家，总投资额为740亿元新台币（合2.48亿美元）。台北101大楼的观景台吸引了众多游客排队参观，大楼内也有许多奢侈品牌落户，其中包括英国品牌博柏莉(Burberry)。
