On March 26, the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA, Chairman Takahashi Hiroyuki) summarized the results of a survey of domestic businesses accepting inbound tourists regarding their attitudes toward accepting inbound tourists. The survey will identify issues and use them to expand acceptance in the future. This is the second time the survey has been conducted. The survey was conducted in February targeting travel agencies, transportation, tourism-related businesses, and local governments, and 1,094 responses were received. From the results, the survey summarized notable tourism content, issues regarding accepting inbound tourists, how to deal with rising prices, and interest in the Osaka-Kansai Expo. Regarding the total number of inbound tourists accepted, 19% did not handle them, and 24% were unknown. 48% had less than 100,000 people. Regarding future acceptance plans for businesses that do not currently accept inbound tourists, 51% expressed an intention to accept them, exceeding the 35% who have no plans to accept them. For those who have no plans to accept them, 60% cited "labor shortages and lack of personnel" as the biggest issue. Regarding the recovery of the overall number of tourists, including domestic travel, 35% have recovered to the pre-COVID level of 2019 or higher. This is a 14% increase from the previous survey. Domestic travel seems to have recovered faster than inbound travel, but the recovery of inbound travel is greater than the overall recovery, with responses showing a significant increase from before COVID. The peak season for inbound tourists is winter, during the cherry blossom, autumn foliage, and festival seasons. In terms of travel style, 60% are accepting individuals and groups, and the needs of business travelers are also recovering. In terms of new or focused tourism content after the COVID-19 pandemic, high value-added travel tops the list at 35%. Sustainable tourism follows at 28%, attracting the same amount of attention as last time. In addition to gastronomy and adventure tourism, anime-rhythms, Japanese cultural experiences, and activities are also of high interest. In terms of inbound priority markets, Taiwan is the most important market in Asia and Oceania, at 45%. China has also improved from 11% last time to 25%. In Europe and the United States, 46% have not set a specific country or region to focus on in the future. As for the issues of accepting inbound tourists, labor and human resource shortages remain the top issue, but it has decreased by 8% from the previous survey to 56%. The lack of secondary transportation infrastructure has increased by 9% to 31%, and interest in ride sharing and tourism-oriented multiple MaaS has also increased while transportation infrastructure related issues such as delays in the resumption of international flights have slightly decreased. As for the status of accepting issues, 64% are still unresolved, and it seems that the situation is far from improving. The condition for increasing acceptance in the future is still to resolve labor and human resource shortages. Here again, the number of people who are worried about the lack of secondary transportation infrastructure is increasing. Although the employment of foreign language speaking staff is improving, there are increasing voices of expectation for government measures such as local government wide-area federations, promotion of tourism DX, elimination of overtourism, and development of tourism infrastructure. Due to the impact of high prices, 58% of tourism businesses have reflected the increase in costs compared to 2019 in their prices, a large increase from 41% in the previous survey. The top reason for the rise in prices is the increase in procurement costs, but this has decreased by 10% from the previous survey to 74%. With personnel costs increasing slightly, the issue of securing human resources has come to light. Regarding the Osaka-Kansai Expo, 31% of respondents are considering using the opportunity to attract more inbound tourists, almost unchanged from the previous survey. Regardless of whether they have a base in Kansai or not, there is a trend toward a decline in interest in the Expo.
