Decline in Japanese tourists visiting Italy
The Asahi Shimbun recently had an article up about the dropping number of Japanese tourists visiting Italy:
About 10 years ago, there were roughly 2 million Japanese tourists visiting Italy each year. That number has since dropped to about 1 million tourists a year. This year’s peak tourist season saw half as many Japanese tourists as last year, and the expensive Euro and fears over swine flu cited as major reasons for the drop. Italy’s level of service, which is low by Japanese standards, is also provided as one of the the decline.
