Last year, the amount of money spent domestically by Japanese travelers was estimated to be just over 9.8 trillion yen, which was less than half of the previous year due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
According to the Japan Tourism Agency, the total number of Japanese who went on domestic trips last year was 291.77 million, about half that of adults.
Along with this, the amount of money spent by Japanese travelers for lodging, shopping, eating and drinking on domestic trips was estimated at 9,898.2 billion yen, a 54% decrease from the previous year.
Looking at the rate of decrease in consumption every three months, from January to March it decreased by 21% from the same period of the previous year, and from April to June when the first state of emergency was declared 83 Expanded to%.
With the exception of Tokyo, the Go To travel business started at 56% from July to September and 46% from October to December.
In addition, the amount of consumption per traveler was about 33,900 yen, a decrease of 9% from the previous year.
This is mainly due to the fact that travel prices were discounted with Go To Travel and many people chose a nearby destination.
Since the end of last year, the operation of Go To Travel has been suspended nationwide, and the movement to refrain from traveling continues, and the Japan Tourism Agency is considering support measures for businesses, such as subsidizing the cost of infection control.
