Tourism in Japan is a complex industry comprising various segments, including travel service providers, lodging, transportation, gastronomy, events, and the souvenir business. Additionally, numerous satellite industries depend on tourism, such as outdoor goods manufacturers and wellness service providers. The size of the tourism industry is considerable and the industry is a significant provider of jobs. Inbound tourism, in particular, is thought to have high growth potential and is regarded as a possible driver of the Japanese economy, with prospects to contribute substantially to Japan’s economic reinvigoration in the future. While inbound tourism made great leaps forward in terms of expenditure during the decade prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic travel still comprised the lion’s share of tourism GDP.
