台灣主要入境旅遊客源市場之發展分析──中國客源市場

Development Analysis of the Major Inbound Tourism Source Market in Taiwan-the Chinese Source Market

中國出境旅遊的快速增長，貢獻了亞太地區大量的出境客源，受到世界各國的重視。兩岸在雙向旅遊政策開放後，大陸旅客入境台灣旅遊曾歷經巨幅的增長，自此躍升為台灣入境旅遊市場中最主要的客源，在台灣的入境旅遊發展中佔有相當的市場規模。因此，希望透過對台灣最主要的客源市場加以探討，以了解開放兩岸雙向旅遊至今，中國客源市場入境台灣之發展變化情形。本研究採次級資料分析方法，透過時序性的蒐集開放以來的台灣官方統計數據，將次級資料系統性的分析，呈現大陸客源入境台灣旅旅遊之市場規模及發展變化情形，以了解大陸客源赴台灣旅遊市場的發展潛力。研究結果顯示大陸旅客入境台灣旅遊在政策上依循序漸進的開放模式，台灣政府也逐漸簡化大陸旅客入境申辦程序。在兩岸政治關係影響下，儘管近年來大陸客源的市場規模呈現下滑，大陸入境旅客仍然是最大宗的入境客源且大陸觀光團客之平均購物支出仍然高於全體。最後針對大陸客源市場之發展與台灣入境旅遊發展提出相關策略建議。
