For one thing, businessmen from Taiwan proper, who in fact make up only a tiny proportion of these travelers, generally just scurry through. A typical businessman will grab a cab straight from the airport to the harbor and set off as soon as possible. Except for what they spend on transportation, business travelers contribute very little to the local economy.
而只佔其中極低比例的台商更是行色匆匆，他們往往剛出機場就直接搭計程車到港口準備出境，除了船票在內的交通費外，能「貢獻」給當地的其實相當有限。
