Japan eases COVID-19 border controls but tourist surge doubtful

1. You don’t say?

   The tour agency requirement info is so confusing.

2. All you need to know is this:

   “Now the government has decided that tourists can enjoy travel without guides through “unaccompanied package tours,” allowing greater movement than in the past, in dining choices and places to visit.

   But they would still be forced to buy set-products that include airline tickets and lodgings, a restrictive and generally unpopular choice.”

   You are still restricted in where you go and how you go.

   Before all of these are off the table and people can just go in, we won’t be seeing a real tourism surge.
