 The government’s “National Travel Assistance” program to stimulate tourism demand will run from October 11 through late December. The “National Travel Assistance” program offers a 40% discount on the cost of travel, with a maximum discount of 5,000 yen per night, or 8,000 yen per night if transportation is included. Furthermore, weekday stayswill receive 3,000 yen, and holiday stays will receive 1,000 yen in local coupons. Currently, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has clarified that the “National Travel Assistance” will not be implemented from the first day due to various causes, including preparation for printing the coupons. Therefore, all other cities except Tokyo aim to start on October 11, while Tokyo aims to start on October 20.

 Immediately after the announcement, travel agencies, travel reservation sites, and even hotels, inns, and other accommodation facilities are experiencing confusion. The main reason for this is that the authority, including the secretariat function, rests with the prefectures. This has resulted in subtle differences in rules among prefectures. There are high expectations for the “National Travel Assistance” program, and we are hoping for a return of the economic benefits of “Go To Travel”. Details are expected to be announced by each prefecture on October 3, and there will likely be more trouble to come before the program begins on October 11.

政府が観光需要喚起のために実施している「全国旅行支援」は、10月11日から12月下旬まで実施される。

「全国旅行支援」は旅行代金を40％割引し、最大で1泊5,000円、交通費を含めると1泊8,000円の割引を行う。

さらに、平日の宿泊には3,000円、休日の宿泊には1,000円の地域クーポンを提供する。

現在、東京都はクーポンの印刷準備等のため、「全国旅行支援」を初日から実施しないことを明らかにしている。

そのため、東京以外の都市は10月11日、東京は10月20日からの開始を目指している。

発表直後から、旅行会社や旅行予約サイト、さらにはホテルや旅館などの宿泊施設では、混乱が起きている。

その主な原因は、事務局機能を含む権限が都道府県にあることだ。

そのために都道府県ごとに微妙なルールの違いが生じている。 

全国旅行支援には大きな期待が寄せられており、「Go To Travel」の経済効果の復活を期待したいところ。

詳細は10月3日に各都道府県から発表される予定だが、10月11日のプログラム開始までにさらなるトラブルが発生しそうだ。
