The government will resume accepting foreign tourists from the 10th for the first time in about two years.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno expressed his hope that it would lead to the revitalization of the local economy, and expressed his intention to make it known so that travel agencies would comply with guidelines that include thorough infection control measures.
The government will resume accepting foreign tourists, which had been suspended as a measure against the border of the new Corona, from the 10th for the first time in about two years.
In connection with this, Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said at a press conference on the morning of the 9th, "We cannot quantitatively say about the number of travelers and the economic effect at this time, but there are reports that reservations for inbound travel are going well overseas. I hope that the resumption of travel to Japan will lead to the revitalization of the local economy. "
In addition, based on the fact that the Japan Tourism Agency published guidelines for travel agencies before resuming acceptance, tourism officials said, "Matters to be noted to prevent the spread of infection and emergency response including the occurrence of positive persons. We are organizing the measures to be taken, and we will continue to make efforts to ensure that each person concerned fully understands and complies with the contents of the guidelines. "
