据台湾交通部观光署统计，今年1至8月，台湾民众前往中国大陆共249.2万人次，较去年同期增加19.63%。数据显示，赴陆人次在两岸航线航班逐步恢复、探亲与商务往来回升下持续成长，其中既有定期往返两岸工作的台商与眷属，也包括旅游与短期交流人次。观光署统计亦显示，同期台湾民众出境总人次同步上升，日本、韩国、越南等地均为热门目的地，大陆在目的地排名中维持前列。两岸客运航线目前由多家航空公司营运台北、台中、高雄等地往返大陆主要城市的航班，实际班次以各航空公司公布为准。陆委会此前统计，今年至10月中，赴陆台湾人遭通报失联、盘查或限制人身自由案件达458人，较前一周增加4人；陆委会提醒民众赴陆前评估风险并登录相关系统。本站仅就统计数据作报道，两则数据分别来自观光署与陆委会的公开统计。
Taiwan Tourism Administration: 2.492 Million Trips to the Mainland in January-August, Up 19.63% Year on Year
Taiwan residents made 2.492 million trips to mainland China in the first eight months of this year, up 19.63 percent from the same period last year, according to statistics from the Tourism Administration under Taiwan's transportation ministry. The figures reflect gradually restored cross-strait flights and recovering family, business and leisure travel, including Taiwan businesspeople and their families who commute across the strait, as well as tourists and short-term exchange visitors. Total outbound trips by Taiwan residents also rose over the same period, with Japan, South Korea and Vietnam among the top destinations and the mainland remaining near the top of the list. Airlines currently operate cross-strait services linking Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung with major mainland cities. Separately, the Mainland Affairs Council reported 458 cases this year, as of mid-October, of Taiwan travellers reported missing, questioned or restricted in personal freedom after travelling to the mainland, four more than a week earlier. The two sets of figures come from the agencies' respective public statistics.
