This is a big deal for the Taiwanese tourist industry, which has long been eager to take in tourists from mainland China, but the economic impact of the agreement will probably not be quite what some were hoping for due to restrictions on the number of tourists (about 1 million arrivals per year, compared with the 14 million mainland Chinese tourists who visit Hong Kong each year).
將於 7 月 18 日正式實施的「陸客來台」，雖是台灣觀光產業期盼已久的盛事，但因人數仍有設限（一年約 100 萬人，較香港去年湧入 1,400 萬名大陸旅客相去甚遠），對經濟的初期帶動效益可能不如預期。
