Trip.com data reveals spike in Japan bookings
Trip.com has revealed a huge booking spike and high search volumes as Japan scrapped travel restrictions.
From the UK, bookings to Japan in September increased by a massive 183% on those made in August.
South Korea saw the largest leap, with a 194% increase in bookings to Japan in September, followed by a 169% from Spain and 103% in bookings from Germany.
Trip.com has seen consistently high search figures to Japan across Europe, APAC and the US since May this year, it says.
Singapore saw the biggest month-on-month search increase in September, with a 520% surge.
Even the country with the lowest spike, the Philippines, saw a 91% increase in searches.
Trip.com plans to monitor this trend in the coming months.
Hironori Katsuse, Trip.com’s Japan General Manager, said: “The twofold effects of easing entry restrictions and a weaker yen have led to a rapid expansion of inbound tourism to Japan.”
“Trip.com Japan anticipates a more robust recovery from Q4 to Q1 2023.”
In September, Trip.com held its first Mega Sale in Japan, featuring deals on luxury hotels across the country.
