China (PRC)-Japan Tourism Shows Continued Decline

The Japan Tourism Marketing Company records a steady decline of visitors from the People’s Republic of China to Japan. The  June 2013 numbers show a 21.4% decrease compared with the same period in 2012.  Meanwhile the number of visitors from Taiwan shows an increase of 80.4% while Singapore posts a 64.1% increase over the same one-year period. Tourism from Korea was also up a healthy 39%. This week’s question: Will PRC tourists return to Japan any time soon, or will the political climate have to improve significantly before the numbers start to go up? Post your comments below.
