What the Data Shows
Sovereign visitor markets are compared by their absolute increase in arrivals to Taiwan from 2024 to 2025. The comparison uses final counts for all 27 markets with both annual endpoints and ranks the seven largest gains. The Philippines led with 167,346 additional arrivals, narrowly ahead of Japan’s 161,020 increase. The United States added 69,442 arrivals, while Vietnam gained 56,489.

Data notes & caveats
This is an absolute-change ranking, so a large market can outrank a faster-growing small market. Negative-change markets remain in the complete comparison universe but are outside the seven largest gains.
Methodology
For every sovereign market with both endpoints, the final 2024 arrival count was subtracted from the final 2025 count. Markets were ordered by the unrounded absolute increase.
Source consistency notes
Every endpoint uses the same official tourism source, market definition, annual frequency and visitor unit.
