According to The Asahi Shimbun, on the back of the weak yen, tourists visiting Japan are spending more than they did before the COVID-19 pandemic for the first time, with Chinese visitors leading the tourism recovery, data showed.
Inbound tourists spent 1.39 trillion yen (US$9.28 billion) between July and September, an increase of 17.7 percent compared with the same period in 2019, according to the data released by the Tourism Agency recently. Chinese tourists spent the most, at 282.7 billion yen, or 20.3 percent of the total, followed by visitors from Taiwan at 204.6 billion yen and those from South Korea at 195.5 billion yen. Average spending per visitor was 210,810 yen, up 29.4 percent, exceeding the government’s goal of 200,000 yen by 2025. Japan is on track to achieve its goal of 5 trillion yen in total annual tourist spending. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15032267
