According to a report by the Japan Tourism Agency, the total transaction value of major travel agencies in July was 489,679 million yen, up 2.4% from the same month last year. This was driven by overseas travel, which is recovering. Domestic travel was down 0.5% to 297,830 million yen. Destinations other than Kyushu and Okinawa were sluggish. On the other hand, overseas travel increased significantly by 6.6% to 175,129 million yen. Most destinations were doing well due to summer vacation demand, and Europe is also continuing to recover. Travel by foreigners was up 13.4% to 16,720 million yen. 27 of the 50 companies exceeded the same month last year.
