China Overseas Chinese Network, May 7. According to Kyodo News, on May 6, local time, the Japanese government stated that it will coordinate in the direction of resuming the admission of foreign tourists to Japan as early as June.
The trial of accepting small-scale tourist groups to Japan as early as May is under discussion, and the effectiveness of countermeasures against the new crown epidemic will be confirmed.
The disappearance of tourists to Japan has led to a slump in domestic travel spending in Japan.
The government plans to gradually increase the number of tourists to Japan for the sake of regional economic recovery while monitoring the domestic and foreign epidemics.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that measures at border crossings will be further relaxed, and it is expected that the daily limit of 10,000 people will be raised.
In a trial plan to accept small-scale tourist groups to Japan, tourists will visit a number of attractions based on a pre-determined schedule.
The government confirmed whether it can grasp the movement status and actions of tourists, as well as the countermeasures when a new crown positive person appears, and discussed the completion of three doses of the new crown vaccination as a condition for participating in a tour group.
It is reported that the number of tourists visiting Japan in 2021 are business-related people, etc., only 245,900, which has dropped to the lowest number of tourists since statistics began in 1964.
From March 2022, the Japanese government will only allow entry for business and study purposes. Subject to the completion of 3 doses of vaccination, quarantine is not required after entry, but people for tourism purposes are not allowed to enter.
