Last year there were 2.95 million visitors to Taiwan, slightly off from the predicted 3.20 million. Su Cherng-tyan says this lower figure was related to the avian flu and the internal political difficulties of the first half of the year. During the second half of the year the overall number climbed back to a respectable 1.55 million.
就來台觀光人數來看，去年約為二百九十五萬人次，比預期的三百二十萬人次稍有差距，蘇成田表示，這與上半年的禽流感及國內政局紛擾等因素有關，而下半年來台人次已全面回升至一百五十五萬，還算差強人意。
