It is becoming more and more difficult to see Koreans in Japanese sightseeing spots. So I wonder how the influence of the decrease in the number of tourists will affect Japan and how much tourism industry in Japan is.

After listening to Kyung Won Lee's explanation, I will connect with the reporter who is in Japan.

Hiroshi Mizohata, the Minister of Tourism of Japan, came to Seoul to hold a press conference in January 2012 when the number of Korean tourists plummeted due to radioactive spills.

It is a symbolic scene that the tourism industry is so important in Japan.

Looking at the OECD report last year, 9.59% of Japanese tourists are higher than the tourism giant Turkey.

The average is 6.9% and Korea is 2.2%.

That's why the analysis of the experts that Japan's restraint on travel is an effective means of diplomatic pressure.

In particular, Japan is pursuing a policy of raising the province into a tourism industry.

Korean tourists have dropped by 10 percent compared to the same period last year. There were also local reports that 1,100 people in Korea had canceled their stay in only three Oita hotels with hot springs Beppu.
