2020 will take tourists other than Tokyo to the government
The host country of the Olympics tends to be shunned by ordinary tourists from the impression that it is crowded. The government plans to focus on measures to attract tourists outside of Tokyo ahead of the convention next year.
Many spectators from overseas visit the host country of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but according to the Japan Tourism Agency, there is an impression that it is crowded in past competitions such as Athens and Beijing, and the accommodation costs are rising. This means that general tourists tend to decrease in tourist destinations other than the host city.
For this reason, the government has decided to focus on promotional activities that attract tourists outside of Tokyo and at times other than the competition period.
In addition to appealing the appeal of local sightseeing spots through the Japan Government Tourism Bureau, proposing ways to enjoy seasonally such as spring cherry blossoms and winter snow resorts, we will also work to attract international flights to local airports.
Also, in areas where the number of Korean tourists, such as Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, has declined significantly due to the worsening of Japan-Korea relations, multilingual support and the development of new travel products to increase the number of tourists from other countries It is a policy to support.
The government will incorporate a series of initiatives into the economic measures that will be compiled next month, and will record the necessary expenses for this year's supplementary budget plan and next year's budget plan.
