Taiwan is an expensive place compared to Southeast Asia, and this year inbound tourism has shown negative growth. Meanwhile several large tourist hotels such as the Grand Hyatt and the Regent have opened one after the other, causing average hotel occupancy rates to fall; while on the restaurant side the outlook is bleak because of declining local spending power.
由於和東南亞地區相比，台灣的消費水準居高不下，今年來華觀光人口已出現負成長；同時，國內幾家大型觀光飯店，如凱悅、麗晶卻相繼開幕，使得旅館業的平均住房率大為降低；餐飲部門，則由於國內消費能力大降，也面臨苦撐局面。
