Travel Demand Coming Back, but Increased Fuel Surcharge May Hamper Steady Growth
By YUICHI MATSUMOTO, Editor in chief
Some time has passed since I wrote the last article in this column. I initially started this series of reports with a motive to “update our overseas readers working for travel trade with the latest information about the Japanese travel market after the 3.11 earthquake.” Since the new developments relating to the quake aftermaths faded into the background, it became a bit difficult to round up fresh news.
Clearly, the restoration processes of the tsunami-stricken Tohoku area have just begun, and travel businesses having suffered physical damages and losses there do not seem to have found any way out yet. Moreover, secondary damages like harmful rumors and consumers’ self-restraint keep ailing them.
