Wendy Wu Tours reports record breaking demand for Japan
Japan’s announcement the country will finally restore visa-free travel for international visitors from October 11, has sparked a surge in demand, says Wendy Wu Tours.
Japan is also ending the cap on daily arrivals to the country.
The news coincides with the Japanese yen slumping to its lowest levels against the dollar in almost a quarter of a century, making Japan an attractive destination for foreign visitors.
Japan’s move to scrap most restrictions on foreign tourists is a significant milestone in the country’s tourism revival plan.
After experienced one of its busiest months for Japan holiday bookings since September 2019, Wendy Wu Tours reports a 170% uptake on interest for September 2022 versus t August.
Wendy Wu welcomed back to Japan at the start of September, as one of the first companies allowed back with tour groups.
Wendy Wu, founder of Wendy Wu Tours said: “This is fantastic news for the travel industry and for everyone that has had to delay and defer their Japan travel plans over the last three years.”
“September has been one of our busiest months on record for Japan holiday bookings and now with the lifting of restrictions and news of visa-free travel, we’re adding extra capacity to all tours in 2023 and 2024 as tours are literally selling out as soon as they go on sale..”
From 11 October, entry to Japan for international tourists will require proof of a Covid triple vaccination or proof of a negative Covid test on arrival.
Wendy Wu Tours just released its new Japan 2023/24 holiday collection, available in both print and digital format.
There is a launch offer to celebrate the lifting of travel restrictions with free flights to Japan and half price flight single supplements, travelling in 2022, 2023 and 2024 – saving up to £400 per person, on selected tours booked by 31 October 2022.
