With the aim of encouraging exhibitors to beautify their stands while showcasing their publications, this year\u2019s event launched the first-ever \u201cBest Stand Design\u201d awards, seeking to involve the participants and visitors alike in the continuous evolution of the book fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the extended opening hours, TiBE 2017 attracted phenomenal attendance this year while creating considerable business opportunities. Book Republic was a success story among participating publishers this year. Its diverse range of offerings and bundle deals bumped up sales by 50 percent from the previous year. Also, local independent bookstores enjoyed popularity and massive sales, growing 25-30 percent from NT$1.4 million (US$45,477) in 2016. On the rights business side, the France Pavilion boasted a total of 11 publishing houses this year, and hosted over 300 copyright meetings during the course of the event, which was testament to the robust development of Taiwan\u2019s publishing market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first-ever TiBE CEO Forum, unsurprisingly, was met with enthusiastic response from book fair visitors. Audiences filled the venue for all the sessions featuring business heavyweights like Chuan-Cheng Tao (\u9676\u50b3\u6b63), Chih-Jen Sheng (\u76db\u6cbb\u4ec1), Stanley Yen (\u56b4\u9577\u58fd), and Sheng-Yi Dai (\u6234\u52dd\u76ca), as well as the talk by Wen-Jing Wang (\u738b\u6587\u975c) and Winston Shen (\u6c88\u65b9\u6b63).V<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","chronicles_cat":[11],"chronicles_years":[23],"class_list":["post-2270","chronicles_posts","type-chronicles_posts","status-publish","hentry","chronicles_cat-tibe","chronicles_years-23","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/taipeibookfair.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chronicles_posts\/2270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/taipeibookfair.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chronicles_posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/taipeibookfair.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chronicles_posts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/taipeibookfair.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chronicles_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taipeibookfair.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chronicles_cat?post=2270"},{"taxonomy":"chronicles_years","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taipeibookfair.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chronicles_years?post=2270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
