摘要

我國申請加入關稅暨貿易總協定(GATT)以及一九九五年初世界貿易組織(WTO)的成立，均造成國內服務業面臨被迫開放的壓力。政府亦已於今（八四）年五月宣佈旅行社將是被迫開放項目之一，因此現存混亂的市場結構一旦開放復將會面臨更大的衝擊，甚至使得整體旅遊業結構發生丕變，這是值得業者深思的問題。
本文目的除探討GATT架構下服務業貿易的談判過程、旅行業之經營現況、及外國旅行社對本土業者可能之影響，並試圖從政府和業者的立場研究因應之策，期能減少入關所帶來之衝擊。

While applying for the membership in the GATT and with the founding of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in early 1995, the ROC will be inevitably facing pressure to liberalize its service market. In response to the situation, the government declared in May 1995 that travel agencies will also be included in the roster of the items to be liberalized. In this regard, we believe that the existing chaotic market structure will be destined to encounter even greater impact, and most likely will bring about whopping changes to the structure of the travel industry once the liberalization measures are taken. This is especially noteworthy in the circle of travel agencies.
This paper focuses on three issues, namely: the negotiation process of the trade of service goods under GATT; how the travel industry operates currently; and the possible impact on the local travel agencies coming from the lifting of the ban on the establishments of foreign companies. Meanwhile, the author will also attempt to work out countermeasures from the different points of view of both the government and of the travel agencies in order to reduce the impact arising from joining the world trade body.
