The country has seen 14 months of decline in visitor numbers according to the Japan National Tourism Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Japan.- Only 56,700 visitors arrived in Japan in November, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO). That represents a fall of 97.7 per cent compared to the same month in 2019 and the 14th consecutive month of decline for Japanese tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tourism has been heavily impacted by restrictions imposed by the Government to contain the spread of Covid-19, as well as by travel restrictions imposed by other countries in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Programmes such as \u201cbusiness track\u201d and \u201cresidence track\u201d between Japan and certain countries have begun to boost the activity, with a limited number of entries from all regions allowed since October 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The JNTO said: \u201cThe Covid-19 pandemic has caused the demand for tourism in the world to remain stagnant. Japan has eased restrictions for countries in the region, which means we need to keep a close eye on infection rates and market trends going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of visitors in November came from China (18,100), followed by Vietnam (14,700) and Indonesia (3,400).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
