Empirical investigation of Taiwan's international tourism used to focus on one one-way tourism trade, which means previous studies only put emphasize on inbound or outbound tourism to Taiwan. Therefore, the results cannot fully understand the overall tourism interaction among Taiwan and other countries. It is necessary for evaluating the international tourism development in Taiwan in a more comprehensive way to analyze the number of arrivals in two-way tourism trade and the bilateral tourism receipts. This can be the first study explores the trade in tourism service in Taiwan and its 11 partner countries. This study also utilizes the total amount of international tourism receipts to estimate two-way dependency index, the estimated results can explain the interactive level of Taiwan and its partner countries. Besides, the results of dependency index can be decomposed into horizontal and vertical trading patterns for the further investigation in this study. During the observation period between 2011-2015, the dependency index of tourism trade between Taiwan and China are the highest off all. However, the dependency index between Taiwan and Japan is gradually decrease year by year, which means the interactive level of trade in tourism service is decreasing. In terms of decomposition of trade pattern, most of the trade patterns of Taiwan and its specific partner countries are tend to be two-way vertical trade, and the low quality vertical trade is relatively higher. The result indicates the development of Taiwan's trade pattern in tourism service is similar to the trend of international tourism, and there is still considerable progress in the quality improvement of tourism. |
