According to JTB's travel trend forecast for the New Year holiday (December 23rd - January 3rd, 2019), the total number of travelers going on trips of one night or more is 30,628,000, up 1.2% from last year. The number of domestic travelers is expected to increase slightly, while the number of overseas travelers is expected to remain steady, making it a reasonable New Year holiday, on par with previous years. Japan's socio-economic environment is favorable, with winter bonuses exceeding last year's figures for the first time in two years, and corporate performance is also strong, but there is concern over the trade friction between the United States and China, and there is a cautious mood about future economic trends. Meanwhile, a survey by JTB showed that this year's vacations are longer than last year, many people have increased their income, and more people are considering increasing their travel expenditures over the next year, which is a welcome trend for the market. Perhaps reflecting this, the number of domestic travelers increased 1.1% to 29,894,000, a slight increase, but a steady increase following the previous year. According to a survey by JTB, the number of days traveled will decrease from 2 nights and 3 days, while 3 nights and 5 nights will increase, so longer stays are likely to become more common. The average cost will also increase by 3.4% to 33,000 yen, indicating a trend towards allocating more time and budget for travel. In terms of travel destinations, the survey showed that Kinki and Hokkaido are doing well. Reservations show that Okinawa, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Karuizawa are popular. The number of people traveling overseas will increase by 4.3% to a record high of 734,000. By destination, nearby Asian countries such as Korea are popular overall, increasing by 5.4%, and Europe is also up 5.6%, with reservations for Northern Europe being particularly strong. The average cost will increase by 3.9% to 214,000 yen. The survey was estimated by compiling individual surveys of 1,200 men and women aged 15-79 nationwide and the sales situation of the JTB Group.
