Guidance and advice to some of the accommodations participating in "Go To Travel" 14:23, August 11th, Minister of Foreign Affairs Akabane
The Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, after studying the infection control measures for accommodations that participate in "Go To Travel", revealed that he gave instructions such as limiting the number of passengers in the elevator, and will continue to do so in the future. I showed the idea that I would like to inform the operators of the points to be improved.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism conducted a survey on the 6th and 7th of this month as to whether or not infection control measures were adequately implemented at 54 lodging facilities nationwide participating in "Go To Travel."
Regarding the results, Minister Akabane stated at a press conference yesterday that "most of the facilities had implemented the measures without fail", and for some facilities, there were restrictions on the number of people who can use the elevator and the front desk. It was clarified that guidance and advice such as displaying a mark showing the position where the customers line up were provided.
In addition, he said, "I think it is important to share information with participating companies to improve infection spread prevention measures," and will continue to conduct surveys in the future to make improvements to participating companies. I showed you the idea of making it known.
Also, after clarifying that about 20% of the total budget for the “Go To Travel” discount was allocated based on the sales results of each company last year, “The remaining over 80% is for small and medium-sized businesses. I would like to make appropriate allocations based on the sales plans of each company so that they can fully utilize this business."
