亞洲十國正式開放观光

跟隨全球新冠疫情逐漸趨緩，亞洲十國宣布即將開放观光 ，以刺激經済及觀光事業之復甦。 目前宣布開放的國家包括有印尼、 尼伯爾、 馬來西亞、 馬爾代夫、 菲律賓、 錫蘭 、南韓 、新加坡、 越南及泰國。

我們非常高興看到這些國家在鎖國兩年之後，再度對觀光客開放， 觀光是每個國家的無煙囱工業 ，不但是國家之重要外匯收入， 更是數以萬計工作人員之飯碗 。

二年多來 ，疫情幾乎誏航空及觀光業全面停滯， 尤其是許多依賴觀光收入之國家如泰國 ，真是一片哀號 影響甚鉅

遺憾的是 ，我們眼看烏克蘭戰爭未歇， 各大國穿梭在國際舞台上， 甚至有核战之威脅，真令我們小老百姓擔擾。

疫情加上戰爭， 真是非常不平靜的一年 ，對於一般人而言， 穩定之政局 ，能夠尋得基本之溫飽是最起碼的要求和人權 ，但是我們到數百萬烏克蘭人流離他鄉， 近千萬人受到戰爭之巨大影響 ，真是人間悲劇。

Ten Asian Countries Open Up For Tourism

Following the slowdown of the global Covid-19 epidemic, ten Asian countries have announced that they will open up for tourism to stimulate the recovery of their economies.

Countries opening up include Indonesia, Nepal, Malaysia, Maldives, The Philippines, Ceylon, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand.

We are so excited to see that these countries are once again opening up to tourists after almost two years of lockdown. Tourism is a chimney-free industry for every country. It is not only an important foreign exchange income for the country, but it also creates jobs for millions of people.

For more than two and one-half years the epidemic has almost stagnated the airlines and hotel industries, especially in those countries that depend on tourism.

Unfortunately, we have seen that the war in Ukraine is still going on. The major powers now even worry about the threat of nuclear war which really bothers us as ordinary people.

We now see millions of refugees from the war in Ukraine. They have lost everything in their lives. They are only just asking for basic food and clothing. This is a minimum requirement and their human right. It is really a human tragedy.
