Drop in Chinese visitors drives decline in Japan’s inbound tourism in August

Japan received 3.1 million foreign visitors in August, down 9.6% from the same month last year, mainly due to a sharp plunge of Chinese visitors, according to estimates from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) released Wednesday.Arrivals from China, one of Japan’s largest tourism markets, fell by 59.0% to 418,000. JNTO said the decline reflected cuts to air services following a Chinese government advisory urging people to avoid travel to Japan, despite the high number of visitors from other countries during the summer school holiday period.Some markets weakened because August is typically a quieter period for Japan-bound travel, with flight cancellations due to tropical storms, and reduced air services also weighing on arrivals, the organization said. Visitors from Australia fell 7.4% year on year, Thailand fell 9.3%, Germany declined 5.5% and the Philippines dropped 11.6%.
