Looking at this list it is obvious that the foreign tourists 'knowledge of scenic spots relies on outdated information, and that recently developed scenic areas, such as the northern and eastern coasts and Orchid Island have not been sufficiently promoted abroad.
總觀這張旅遊排行榜，顯然外國旅客對台灣風光的認知，還停留在幾十年來老舊的「旅遊指南」上，一些新近開發的旅遊點、線，像東北海岸線、花東、蘭嶼多未能發揮；觀光業者對外推介不夠、觀光客選擇無多，十分可惜。
