AI Summary (NQ-processed)
The Travel Quality Assurance Association (TQAA) announced on the 21st that despite rising costs from fuel surcharges and tourism taxes, tour package prices to Japan, a favorite destination for Taiwanese tourists, will not increase this summer (July-September) compared to the same period last year, as operators are absorbing the extra costs. An adjustment to Thailand's visa-free days will also not affect group travelers. However, prices for long-haul destinations like the United States and Europe are expected to rise by 5% to 10% due to factors like fuel costs and the World Cup. The TQAA estimates that Taiwan's total outbound tourist numbers could exceed 20 million this year.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: 今年暑假日本旅遊團費為何沒有上漲？
- A: 根據品保協會的說法，儘管有機票、飯店及離境稅等成本增加約新台幣3000至4000元，但旅遊業者透過使用商務型精品飯店、增加自理餐等方式自行吸收成本，壓低利潤以維持團費與去年同期持平。
- Q: 泰國免簽天數調整對台灣旅客有何影響？
- A: 對團體旅客沒有影響。因為台灣赴泰國的團體行程大多為5至7天，在免簽天數調整的範圍內，所以不受影響。
- Q: 哪些旅遊路線的團費在暑假期間會上漲？
- A: 長程線路如美洲、歐洲、中亞非及紐澳的團費均上漲。美洲線因世足賽及燃油費等因素調漲8%至10%；歐洲線因匯率及各項成本墊高，成長5%至8%；中亞非成長2%至23%；紐澳線則上漲超過10%。
