〔記者李靚慧/台北報導〕強烈颱風薔琵持續增強,氣象署最快於22日發布海上及陸上颱風警報。近期規劃出國旅遊的民眾,除了留意航班及天候變化,也別忘了規劃旅遊期間的旅行平安險並附加海外旅遊不便險,以免颱風警報發布後,保險公司為管控風險,暫停受理特定期間的投保案件,屆時想買也買不到。
根據過往經驗,只要特定地區發布颱風警報,各產險業者就會公告暫停受理當地的旅遊不便險投保,產險業者指出,旅行綜合保險保單條款,已將氣象署發布海上颱風警報列為「特別不保事項」,因此,即使旅客搶買成功,保險公司還是可以不承保。這是因為只要發布海上颱風警報,就會影響飛機航班起降,進而導致航空公司調整航班,勢必會影響旅遊行程,此時若受理投保,很難避免道德風險。
根據中央氣象署的資訊,強烈颱風薔琵來勢洶洶,不排除有登陸可能,最快於週三深夜或週四有機會發布海上颱風警報,目前雖未有產險業者貼出停售公告,但各業者都已緊盯颱風動態。
新版旅遊不便險今年4月上路,每人每次限買2張。新版海外不便險提供6項保障範圍,其中「旅程取消保險」及「旅程更改保險」2項固定採實支實付給付。其他4項「班機延誤保險」、「行李延誤保險」、「行李損失保險」、「旅行文件損失保險」,則讓產險公司自行決定推出「實支實付型」及「定額給付型」商品。
在「班機延誤」上,多數業者雖主打一次給付商品,給付限額6000元,但新版條款仍提供「實支實付」及「累進式給付」的商品選項,部分業者提供「累進式給付」投保選擇,最高可提高給付至1萬2000元,如果被保險人在保險契約賠償責任期間內,以乘客身分預定搭乘的定期航班發生延誤,導致被保險人實際出發時間較預定出發時間延誤4小時以上,因延誤所產生的額外支出膳食、住宿及往返機場與住宿地點間之交通費用,可持單據在限額內申請理賠。但根據保單條款,如果相關費用發生於中華民國境內時,僅以原預定出發之時起48小時內為限。
產險業者提醒,為了避免颱風來襲買不到保險,建議國人在買好機票、規劃好行程時.就同時將該段旅遊期間先行投保,這樣即使出發前或出發後遇到颱風,也不怕沒有保障。

氣象署發布海上及陸上颱風警報

The first phase of undergrounding the Tainan Railway was opened to traffic on the 17th, and the old station tracks were decommissioned. The city government, in coordination with the Taiwan Railways and the Railway Bureau, will open the old platform and railway section from now until October 26 for the public to take photos and check in to witness a century of railway history.

The Kinmen County Government announced that the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transportation will open reservations for Taiwan Financial Control Routes at 9 a.m. on October 19, providing 468 flights and 40,006 seats. The Constitutional Anniversary will be a consecutive holiday from December 25 to 27, and December 24 to 28 is planned to be the air transportation period. For peak period tickets, "limited to the same day", "overdue cancellation" and "refund fee grading system" will be implemented for tickets during peak hours. 30%, 20%, and 10% of the maximum ticket price will be charged based on the day of flight departure, 1 to 6 days before, and 7 days or more before the flight, respectively, to improve the efficiency of air transportation resource utilization.

Taiwan currently maintains a ban on tour groups from China and only allows free travel. However, some travel agencies openly sell Chinese tour itineraries on their official websites. They only add words such as "cultural visit" or "free group travel" in the title to circumvent the ban, but actually send people to lead the tours. The Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transport stated that if the illegal solicitation of tourists to China is found to be true, a fine of not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 50,000 yuan will be imposed in accordance with the tourism industry management regulations, and improvements will be made within a time limit.

The Transportation Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport pointed out that Keelung and Kaohsiung can serve as cruise home ports in northern and southern Taiwan respectively. Keelung focuses on routes to Japan and South Korea, and Kaohsiung covers routes to the Philippines and Vietnam. Although the number of global cruise passengers has exceeded pre-epidemic levels, the number of Taiwan cruise ship arrivals has not yet returned to 2019 levels. It is recommended to strengthen port infrastructure and talent cultivation, and promote sea and air transfer efficiency.

In response to China's ban on tourists coming to Taiwan, Taiwan continues to ban group tours to China. Although some travel agencies circumvent regulations and sell itineraries, industry players and academics warn that this may leave people with no way to seek compensation when consumer disputes arise, and call for attention to travel risks and market demand.

Taiwan still maintains a ban on group tours from China, but some travel agencies openly sell travel itineraries to China under the guise of "cultural visits" or "group independent travel" to circumvent regulations. The Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transport stated that if illegal solicitation of group tours to China is found to be true, it will be improved within a time limit according to law or a fine of 10,000 to 50,000 yuan will be imposed.
