The number of foreign tourists visiting Japan from January to November hit a record high for the 11-month period, but it remains highly unlikely that the Japanese government’s annual target of attracting 10 million tourists will be achieved, a Japan National Tourism Organization survey showed Wednesday.
The number of foreign visitors to Japan during the reporting period surged 29.2% from the corresponding period last year to 7,963,000, according to the organization.
To achieve the government target of 10 million tourists in 2010, Japan would need to attract over 2 million tourists in December. But considering that the largest number of tourists for a single month this year was 878,582 in July, it is highly unlikely that the target will be reached.
Tourism EXPO Japan will be held from September 20-23, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan, at Tokyo Big Sight. September 20 and 21 are reserved for business discussions and industry professionals, and September 22 and 23 is open to the general public. The event is being organized by the Japan Travel and Tourism Association (JTTA), the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA), and the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO).
The Japan National Tourism Organization was established in 1964 to develop international tourism exchanges for the country.
JNTO is involved in a broad range of activities both domestically and worldwide, to encourage international tourists from all over the world to visit Japan.
