Japanese travel agencies should direct tourists “from entrance to exit” to tourist information centers and remind them of Coweed’s requirements, such as wearing a mask.

The agency said on the 16th in a 16-page guide: “Tour guides should continually remind participants of infection prevention measures, such as wearing and removing masks at every stage of the tour.” “Even outside, people should continue to wear masks when they are close to each other,” he added.

However, a travel agency said that his interest in visiting Korea has increased. Chan Brothers Travel in Singapore said it has booked 50 groups of 30 each in Japan.

Spokesman Jeremiah Wong told the news channel that the investigation had progressed “exponentially” since the reopening of Japan was announced.

“Travelers don’t have to worry about going on a long-awaited vacation to make up for lost time in the last two years or more,” Wong said.

However, it is unclear when the company’s first pandemic trip to Japan will begin, he said. “For all travelers.”

Zara Bencheikh, director of Intrepid Travel, said: “There is a great demand to go to Japan.”

His company hopes to resume travel to popular destinations such as Mount Fuji in August. However, Bencheikh said that this is still approved by the Japanese authorities.
Japan has banned most foreign tourists in the past two years, taking steps to slow the spread of COVID-19. Last year, foreign guests were also banned from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Earlier this year, the country eased travel restrictions for foreigners and business travelers. Last month, Japan announced that it would double the daily entry limit to 20,000.

Deutsche Bank Japan’s chief economist Kentaro Koyama said this “simple economic reopening strategy” would not do much for Japan, the world’s third-largest economy. “The government’s response is slow,” Koyama said. “Older Japanese are more afraid of pollution than any other country.” Prior to the pandemic, tourism in Japan in 2019 was a big deal, with 31.9 million foreign visitors. Last year, that number was less than 250,000. However, the once-popular Asian tourism industry still has a long way to go.

Rad Saffani told the a news channel that he had canceled plans to travel from Australia to Japan next month due to restrictions. “We’re not interested in tour packages. We don’t like tours,” he said.

Vanping Au, who runs Japan’s TokudAw travel agency, said he received two or three questions a day and never received an order from the company. “We don’t have a final order yet because no one wants to make an appointment,” he said.

Miss Av: “We don’t want to be guinea pigs” is a phrase I often hear.
