A major travel agency has summarized that the number of people going on domestic trips during the Golden Week holidays from the end of this month is expected to increase by nearly 70% compared to the same period last year when emergency declarations were issued in Tokyo and Osaka.
JTB, a major travel agency, estimates that 16 million people will go on domestic trips during the long holidays, based on accommodation reservations and economic indicators.
This is 68.4% higher than last year's Golden Week holidays when emergency declarations were issued in Tokyo and Osaka, but 33.4% lower than 2019 before Corona.
The average travel cost is estimated to be 34,500 yen, which is 6.8% higher than last year.
In addition, when asked about the number of days of travel in a questionnaire survey conducted on the Internet, 36.1% of the 1,700 respondents answered that they stayed one night, a decrease of 3.1 points from last year, while those who answered that they stayed two nights. The number of people who answered 32.6% increased by 4 points and increased by 0.8 points to 17.1%, and the number of travel days tends to increase compared to last year.
According to the travel agency that conducted the survey, "Although it does not reach before Corona, it proves that travel demand is on a recovery trend. On the other hand, like last year, places where you can enjoy natural scenery are becoming popular. Actions that are conscious of infection control are continuing. "
