The development of sightseeing and tourism is a critical economic issue for Taiwan and Mainland China. Since the first cross-strait charter flight started, the number of Chinese tourists travelling to Taiwan has surged, and tourism-related products also feature cultural richness and diversity. Taiwan's service skills as a "soft power" are highly appraised. However, the application of service quality remains limited in terms of evaluating Chinese tourists' self-help trip to Taiwan. The present study adopted field trip questionnaires to survey Chinese self-help tourists for their opinions about Taiwan's service quality. The key findings are as follows. Firstly, response and guarantee in the five indicators of service quality are not significant, and service quality influences tourists' levels of satisfaction. Secondly, tourists' levels of satisfaction positively influence their loyalty. Thirdly, service quality positively influences tourists' loyalty. Through the improvement of service quality for Taiwan's tourism, Chinese tourists' confidence in travelling in Taiwan will be gradually boosted for a more sustainable, stable development of tourism with the business environmental changes. |
