More than 251.2020 million foreign tourists visited Japan last month. Since the beginning of 2019, when the new coronavirus infection spread, it is the first time that the number has exceeded the same month in <> before the spread of the infection, and the recovery in inbound demand has become even clearer.
According to the Japan Tourism Organization, an estimated 251,6500,2020 foreign tourists visited Japan last month, the first time since the beginning of 2019 when the new coronavirus infection spread, surpassing the same month in 1 before the spread of the infection.
It is also the fifth consecutive month that the number of travelers in a month has exceeded 200 million.
By country or region, South Korea has the highest number of cases at 5,63, followed by Taiwan with 1100,42, China with 4800,25, and the United States with 6300,21.
According to the Japan Tourism Bureau, "While the weak yen makes it easier to travel, the increase in travelers in Asia, Europe and the United States seems to have led to the recovery."
On the other hand, in China, which used to have the largest number of visitors by country, the ban on group travel to Japan was lifted in August, and from the end of September there was a long holiday for National Day, which is National Foundation Day, but the number of tourists from China is only 1900% of the level compared to October 8.
The Japan Tourism Board cites the fact that the number of flights between China and Japan has not recovered sufficiently.
In the future, it will be interesting to see if the number of travelers from China recovers and the overall inbound demand will increase further.
