Due to the influence of the new mutant virus "Omicron strain", while border measures are being strengthened in Japan as well, such as suspending new entry of foreigners in principle, Saito Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will resume the "Go To Travel" measure to stimulate tourism demand. At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 30th, the minister said, "The main premise for resuming business is to ensure safety and security and to keep the infection situation calm."

He added, "There are many unclear points about the Omicron strain at this point, but I would like to keep an eye on the future infection status, including its effects." I have shown my thoughts to consider.
