When people from other countries come to Taiwan it provides a huge boost to Taiwan's visibility and international connections. For example, over the past few years Taiwan has hosted major conferences on technology and publishing. All those invited were internationally recognized VIPs, people who normally would not travel to Taiwan.
國際人士來台開會，對台灣的國際能見度和國際交流更有極大的幫助，例如前些年在台灣舉行的「國際科技大會」及「世界發行人全球年會」之類的會議，請的貴賓都具有國際影響力，而他們平常是很少來台灣的。
