Last month, the number of people who stayed at hotels and inns in Japan totaled 34.51 million, an increase of 73.4% from the same month last year, according to the preliminary figures released by the Japan Tourism Agency.
This is due to the widespread use of the “Prefectural Citizens Discount”, a measure to stimulate tourism demand.
On the other hand, the number of guests has decreased by 24.7% compared to June 2019 before the spread of the infection.
Of these,
▽ Japanese guests decreased by 6.5%, while
▽ foreign guests decreased by 93.1%,
continuing to be a significant decline.
The Japan Tourism Agency said, "Last month, the government resumed accepting foreign tourists, limiting it to tourists, but the number of guests is still low compared to last year. I would like to pay close attention to how the rapid spread of the infection will affect the movements of guests. "
