Abstract: Slovenia and Taiwan have many similarities. Both countries have a mountainous landscape, seaside, countryside and two major big cities. In 2011 the average annual income was 28,500 usd in Taiwan, but slightly higher in Slovenia at 29,500 usd. The average monthly net earnings amounted to 1,328 usd in Slovenia and 1,541 usd in Taiwan over the same period. Both countries are emerging tourism destinations; 6,087,484 arrivals were recorded on entry into Taiwan in 2011 compared to 3,218,000 tourist arrivals registered in tourist accommodation in Slovenia for the same period. Based on the similarities between these countries the present study was designed to compare expenditures of outbound tourists departing from Slovenia and Taiwan.
