Hi all! This is Emma from Nikkei Asia’s audience engagement team.
I thought you all might be interested in this story. Here’s an excerpt:
*The number of foreign visitors to Japan in January rose by more than a million from the previous year, hitting a record 3.78 million, driven by a jump in Chinese tourists during the Lunar New Year holiday.*
*The figure represents an increase of 40.6% on the year. On the month, it was up 8.4%, eclipsing the previous monthly record of 3.48 million in December.*
*Driving the increase was a 136% year-on-year rise in Chinese visitors to over 980,000, nearly matching the July 2019 record of 1.05 million.*
