Free Report About Trend #1: Reshaping Of Japan’s Tourism Industry

Management

The Japan’s tourism industry is reshaping following an influx of Asian visitors and a cheap yen. This move has seen the number of foreign visitors to Japan grew by almost 30% back in 2014 with the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan increasing to more than 80%. The Japanese government has played a great role towards reshaping its tourism by also easing the visa rules thus targeting Asia’s growing middle class (Kosaku all).

Justification for my choice

I chose this trend since it shows a great impact in tourism development in Japan. The nation is making it services cheap in order to encourage various classes of people in Asia to visit the nation.

This move will lead to growth and development of the hospitality industry in Japan. Ideally, this is because the more the number of tourists entering the nation the more the revenue.
