基隆與高雄可擔任台灣北部與南部巡航母港,基隆專注於日本與韓國航線,高雄則覆蓋菲律賓與越南航線,交通部運輸研究所在媒體說明會中表示。
運輸研究所收集的數據顯示,去年全球巡航船乘客數達創紀錄的3720萬人次,較2019年疫情前水準高約25.3%。
亞洲約有300萬人次巡航船乘客,約為疫情前水準的80%。
然而,與2024年相比,該數字增長了15%,研究所表示。
運輸研究所副所長陳賓權引用國際巡輪協會數據指出,2016至2019年期間,台灣是全球第11大巡航船市場,亞洲第二大市場,僅次於中國。
2019年,台灣錄得671艘巡航船抵港與106萬名乘客,陳賓權表示。基隆港當時是亞洲第二大巡航船港口,超越上海港,僅次於新加坡港,他補充說明。
全球巡航船市場受2019冠狀病毒病疫情衝擊,台灣巡航船乘客數在2022年降至近零,陳賓權表示。
2023年政府解除疫情限制後,台灣巡航船乘客數去年反彈至1157萬人次,超越疫情前水準,他說。
然而,去年巡航船抵港次數尚未恢復至2019年水準,他指出,並補充說明,台灣在全球巡航船市場排名第13,亞洲排名第4。
「這顯示出大型巡航船的趨勢,這反而會優化單艘巡航船能帶來的觀光效益。」陳賓權表示。
去年,母港式巡航——即船隻在其航程中停靠台灣港口——佔比達39%,高於2024年的26%,陳賓權表示。
同時,外國旅客佔2024年巡航旅客的58%,其中大多來自日本、美國與德國,他表示。
透過飛機抵達台灣再登船的旅客——亦即飛行巡航模式——的比例在2023年升至11%,他補充說明。
超過64%的乘客選擇在巡航母港多停一晚,無論是航程前或後,這將帶來額外住宿與觀光消費。
「我們建議航港局與台灣國際港務公司加強合作,以改善港口基礎建設並培育巡航船產業人才。」陳賓權表示。
基隆市與高雄市的國際商港可分別擔任台灣北部與南部巡航母港,基隆負責日本與韓國航線,高雄則擴展至菲律賓與越南航線,陳賓權表示。
「隨著飛行巡航旅客增加,航港局與台灣國際港務公司應致力於促進海空轉運服務,包括提升行李處理效率。」他說。
台灣國際港務公司先前估計,今年台灣將迎來605艘巡航船,乘客數將超過119.7萬人次。

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.

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.
