In 2015, the number of visitors to Japan exceeded 20 million.
In the morning edition of the Nikkei newspaper released today, there was an article entitled “21.36 million visitors to Japan, the first breakthrough in 2015.”
I am very pleased with the fact that we have set a goal to increase the annual number of visitors to Japan to 40 million by 2020.
There will be the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, and inbound-related fields are one of the few fields in the Japanese economy where great growth can be expected.
By the way, I went on a business trip to Indonesia (Jakarta Surabaya) the other day, but I was able to calmly inspect it probably because I had more time than when I went last time. There is much work to be done in the future, such as infrastructure development, and I am reassured that it will be a vibrant and growing country in the future. It was a very friendly and comfortable business trip, with a calm national character and 95% of the cars running were Japanese cars. Thank you.
The economy is in good shape, the thickness of the middle class is increasing, and the population pyramid has an ideal shape, which is reminiscent of Japan in the past, and I was very envious of it.
On the other hand, here too, the trust in “MADE IN JAPAN” is very strong, and the export business with the MADE IN JAPAN brand in the foreground and the business that anticipates the increasing number of visitors from Indonesia and Malaysia (especially Halal Food). (Construction of a hotel where they can stay with peace of mind and a super restaurant specializing in halal food) seems to be interesting.
The Kumamoto earthquake and the recent trend of yen appreciation are concerns about the trend of tourists visiting Japan, but I think that we can overcome it without much effort by further promoting Abenomics. The Kumamoto earthquake, which turns disaster into good fortune, is very heartbreaking, but I personally think that there may be a move toward the reconstruction economy with a flexible response that does not lose calm. increase.
The bright land of Kyushu doesn’t suit the spicy smell.
We sincerely support the reconstruction of the earthquake and the further promotion of Abenomics.
