Looking at the so-called "leisure consumption" index, "travel" was minus 58.8%, "accommodation" was minus 40%, "dining" was minus 34.4%, and "transportation" was minus 33.5%. The rate of decline for “outdoor dining” and “transportation” has been increasing since the latter half of June.
The company that conducted the survey said, ``We also think that it will be affected by heavy rain, but due to the increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus, there is a possibility that the movement to refrain from going out again is spreading, so future trends I am watching."
