The backgrounds of the tour group members involved in the two incidents and the routes they took are similar. They left from China's Fujian Province, transiting through Thailand, and after arriving in Taiwan, split up to move independently, with Taiwanese people-smuggling gangs taking them away.
綜觀兩起落跑事件的團員背景與路徑頗為類似，都由福建經泰國、入境台灣後，化整為零作鳥獸散，再由台灣的人蛇集團接走。
