Japan's domestic tourism consumption dropped by 55% last year
(Kyodo News) The Japan Tourism Agency released preliminary statistics on Japan's domestic tourism consumption on the 17th. This represented a decrease of 54.9% from the previous year, to 9.8982 trillion yen (approximately RMB 602.8 billion). Due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic that has caused people to avoid travel, the amount is the smallest since 2010 that the current survey has been conducted. The cumulative number of tourists decreased by 50.3% to 291.77 million. Japan’s domestic travel support program "Go To Travel" has only a temporary effect.
Of the specific consumption, accommodation travel was 7.7394 trillion yen, a decrease of 54.9% from the previous year; the same-day round-trip travel was 2.1588 trillion yen, a decrease of 54.8%. On a quarterly basis, the first quarter (January to March) decreased by 21.7% compared with the same period of the previous year, and the second quarter when the first emergency declaration was issued dropped by 83.2%. Affected by the launch of the Go To travel project, it decreased by 56.6% in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter when Tokyo joined the discount target, it rose to a decrease of 46.5%.
Travel expenditures for transportation, accommodation, catering, and souvenirs averaged 33,925 yen per person per visit, a decrease of 9.2% from the previous year. This amount does not include the discounted portion of the Travel item. Some people think that under the new crown epidemic, people tend to choose to travel nearby, and the reduction in transportation costs is also one of the reasons.In terms of the number of tourists, there were 160.36 million people staying, a decrease of 48.5%, and there were 131.41 million people going back and forth on the same day, a decrease of 52.3%.
In addition, the Tourism Agency announced data that in January 2021, foreign tourists visiting Japan decreased by 98.3% from the same period of the previous year to 46,500, a year-on-year decrease for 16 consecutive months. Since May last year, there has been a month-on-month decline in 7 months. In view of the expansion of the new crown epidemic and the re-issue of the emergency declaration, the suspension of the entry of foreigners in principle has had an impact.
From the perspective of major countries and regions, the largest number of Vietnamese tourists is 20,000, a year-on-year decrease of 60.3%. In mid-January, the Japanese government suspended business-related exchanges with certain countries and regions as exceptions. Vietnamese technical intern trainees have rushed to enter the country before the suspension. The number of passengers was 10,200 in China (a decrease of 98.9% year-on-year), and 2,500 in South Korea (a decrease of 99.2% year-on-year).
The number of visitors to Japan is estimated based on immigration management statistics, including those outside the purpose of tourism. Since June last year, the number of tourists visiting Japan has continued to increase month-on-month due to the relaxation of entry restrictions for business-related persons. In addition, the number of Japanese departures in January fell by 96.5% to 48,700.
