Go To Travel Thorough measures to prevent infection to recover demand JTB President July 21 18:48
Before the start of "Go To Travel" on the 21st, a major travel company, JTB President Eijiro Yamakita, interviewed NHK and took thorough infection prevention measures to recover travel demand, and created an environment that allows safe travel. He showed the idea that securing is important.
Mr. Yamakita, who became the new top of JTB last month, said that the trip to/from Tokyo was excluded from the subsidy at "Go To Travel", "Tokyo is a very large market and an important place as a destination. However, if this is not added, it will be difficult to create demand. However, since safety is of the utmost importance, it is necessary to determine how the demand can be expanded in the infection situation."
In addition, Mr. Yamakita said, ``Since the role of providing correct information to tourists is a role, the government had a major impact on the situation, but in a difficult situation, It is unavoidable that the policy itself will change because it is inside."
Regarding the recovery of travel demand in the future, “It is difficult to expand demand without securing an environment that allows travelers to travel safely. It is a shortcut for demand recovery to strictly follow the infection prevention guidelines. I want to do it."
