Ninety-six
percent of Chinese tourists arriving in
Taiwan
between January and September 2006 said they would like to visit
Taiwan
again, according to the result of a survey conducted by the Tourism Bureau on
December 26.
The survey of 444 Chinese tourists in
Taiwan
also showed they spent US$235.86 on average per day per person, and they spoke
highly of Taiwanese people's friendly attitude, the country's social order, and
overall accommodation. But they cited the "slow speed in getting a
visa" as least satisfactory, the survey showed.
To ensure a quality experience for Chinese visitors, the Tourism Bureau
has since November distributed the questionnaires at
Taiwan
Taoyuan
International
Airport
and
Kaohsiung
International
Airport
to learn about Chinese impressions of
Taiwan
.
According to 270 valid samples received, 94 percent said they were
satisfied with the overall service provided by
Taiwan
's travel agencies.
The tourists were most satisfied with the explanation of tourist
guides, as well as their service quality (99 percent), and were least satisfied
with dining arrangements, at 84.4 percent.
Regarding shopping, 40.4 percent said the prices are fine, but those who
think expensive or very expensive accounted for 40.7 percent, with only 4.1
percent saying the prices were inexpensive. Tourism Bureau Chief Lai Ser-jen
said this is probably due to the fact that prices in
China
are much lower than in
Taiwan
.
Chinese tourists made 54,000 visits to
Taiwan
last year, and as of Dec. 25 2006, they have made 97,000 visits.
