Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, along with the State Administration for Market Regulation, has released the 2026 version of the team tourism contract (model text) to enhance tourism market order, improve service quality, and protect the rights of tourists and travel agencies, effective from March 31, 2026 [1][2]. Group 1: Contract Details - The 2026 version includes six model texts: "Team Domestic Tourism Contract," "Team Outbound Tourism Contract," "Mainland Residents Traveling to Taiwan Contract," "Domestic One-Day Tour Contract," "Domestic Travel Agency and Local Reception Agency Contract," and "Research Study Tourism Contract" [1][2]. - The revisions focus on strengthening safety guarantees for travel agencies, clarifying rules for shopping activities and additional paid tourism projects, enhancing the protection of tourists' rights, improving personal information protection, and regulating research study tourism activities organized by travel agencies [1][2]. Group 2: Background and Rationale - The previous model texts were issued by the former National Tourism Administration and the former State Administration for Industry and Commerce between 2013 and 2014, and have become outdated due to rapid market development [2]. - Changes in tourist travel demands and consumption habits have led to new requirements for the clarity and specificity of tourism contracts, emphasizing safety and service quality [2]. - The revision incorporates practical experiences from the use of team tourism contracts and feedback from consumer protection associations, travel agencies, and legal experts, resulting in the addition of a dedicated research study tourism contract [2].
