Dear ,
Welcome to the second Dreaming Edition of the Japan Travel Trade Newsletter.
We hope you are all continuing to observe social distancing recommendations while easing back into the new normal way of life, as restrictions are easing up in both Australia and New Zealand.
Regarding reports by some news outlets that “The Japanese government is considering a campaign to help foreign tourists visiting Japan by offering support for half of their travel expenses,” please note that the Go to Travel Campaign under consideration by the Japanese government is to stimulate domestic travel demand within Japan after the Covid-19 pandemic and only cover a portion of domestic travel expenses.
It is still unclear when international travel will resume, but until then we will continue bringing you travel dreaming inspiration.
