"Go To Travel" Confirm the mechanism again July 18th 18:08
"Go To Travel" campaign starting on the 22nd. In the first place, I will try again to see how it works.
The "Go To Travel" campaign is carried out in the form of discounting the travel price and issuing coupons that can be used at tourist facilities, souvenir shops, restaurants, transportation, etc. The discount will start.
The discount amount is 35% of the travel price, and the maximum limit is 14,000 yen per person per night for overnight trips and 7,000 yen per person for day trips.
There is no limit on the number of uses, and it can be used in conjunction with a campaign run by the local government.
Sale of tours and accommodations at prices that reflect discounts will start from the 27th of this month. Even before that, if you are traveling on the 22nd or later, you will be eligible for a discount, but you will need to send a receipt etc. to the secretariat of the campaign and receive a separate refund.
On the other hand, for the coupon, since it takes time to prepare, it is supposed to start in prospect through September.
The amount of the coupon is 15% of the travel price, the upper limit is 6000 yen per person per night for overnight trips, and 3000 yen per person for day trips. It can be used only during the travel period.
Not applicable to Tokyo
However, this business does not include discounts for "travel to Tokyo as a destination" and "travel for people living in Tokyo".
A "travel to Tokyo" is a tour in which sightseeing spots, restaurants, etc. in Tokyo are included in the process, or a trip to stay at a hotel or inn in Tokyo.
According to the Japan Tourism Agency, for example, if a person who lives in Fukuoka prefecture arrives at Haneda Airport in Tokyo by airplane and then moves to a tourist destination in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture and stays there, the destination will be Hakone, so a discount will be applied. about it.
On the other hand, if you are staying at a hotel in Chiba prefecture and visiting sightseeing spots in Tokyo, the discount does not apply because the city of Tokyo is included in the sightseeing course. However, cases such as staying at a hotel in Chiba prefecture and sightseeing in Tokyo individually cannot be excluded from the discount.
Also, if you live in Saitama prefecture or Chiba prefecture, for example, if you are traveling by bullet train or airplane from Tokyo to other prefectures, the destination of your trip is not in Tokyo and you will be eligible for a discount.
Judging by resident card
Whether you live in Tokyo or not depends on where your resident card is. When booking a tour at a travel agency's store or checking in at an accommodation, the business operator will require the customer to present a proof of residence, such as a license or insurance card.
On the other hand, when making reservations for tours and accommodations via the Internet, it is assumed that you will be asked to enter your place of residence, and then you will be asked to confirm the certificate at accommodations.
