People making travel arrangements for the winter vacation or the Lunar New Year holiday might want to look at the deals offered at the Taipei International Travel Fair (ITF), which opens today at the Nangang Exhibition Center.

This is also the first time that visitors under the age of six would be able to enter the venue, the association said, adding that there would be events for parents to play with their children at the fair.

Tourism bureaus and airlines from around the world, as well as hotels, restaurants and travel agencies would be offering special deals during the four-day fair, the association said.
Air Canada would be offering discounts on flights between Taipei and Vancouver, and those stopping at the airline’s booth would have a chance to win tickets to North America, a five-day trip to Yellowknife in Canada to see the Northern Lights and a four-day hot spring and skiing tour in the Canadian Rockies, the organizer said.
Meanwhile, both China Airlines and EVA Airways would be offering discounts for visitors booking flights at the fair.
Singaporean low-cost carrier Scoot would also be giving away round-trip tickets to Europe to people who participate in its organized activities.
Vietnam Airlines would also have a draw for people to win flights to cities in Vietnam.
Travel agencies would also offer early-bird deals for visitors who want to book winter vacation tours.
For example, Lion Travel plans to offer a short-haul trip deal that could save visitors up to NT$15,000.
Cola Tour would be offering discounts of up to NT$3,000 on some of its early-bird deals, while those buying theme-park tickets with the agency would be able to sign up for a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Life Tour plans to offer a deal for couples or friends who want to travel together, where the second person in the group can receive a discount of NT$10,000.
The agency is also authorized to sell tickets to a Mayday concert next year and has a limited number of discounted tickets available.
The Taipei Department of Health yesterday said it has launched a probe into a restaurant at Far Eastern Sogo Xinyi A13 Department Store after a customer died of suspected food poisoning.

The nation continues to be a target of disinformation originating from China, and Hong Kong is increasingly being used as a base from which to disseminate that disinformation, the report said. After Taiwan, Latvia and Palestine ranked second and third respectively, while Nicaragua, North Korea, Venezuela and China, in that order, were the countries that spread the most disinformation, the report said. Each country listed in the report was given a score,
POOR PREPARATION: Cultures can form on food that is out of refrigeration for too long and cooking does not reliably neutralize their toxins, an epidemiologist said Medical professionals yesterday said that suspected food poisoning deaths revolving around a restaurant at Far Eastern Department Store Xinyi A13 Store in Taipei could have been caused by one of several types of bacterium. Ho Mei-shang (何美鄉), an epidemiologist at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Biomedical Sciences, wrote on Facebook that the death of a 39-year-old customer of the restaurant suggests the toxin involved was either “highly potent or present in massive large quantities.” People who ate at the restaurant showed symptoms within hours of consuming the food, suggesting that the poisoning resulted from contamination by a toxin and not infection of the
