Duh?
Is almost like tourism is beneficial for the economy or something!

“Sevenfold” in the headline is pretty meaningless coming out of Covid restrictions.
The more interesting numbers from the article are that it was still about 80% down on 2019 (makes sense since a lot of the year there were still restrictions), and the average spend is up about 50%.
wow. Imagine people on vacation spending money to do touristy things. Whodathunkit!
So many foreign tourist now and they brought their bad behavior over too… I kinda hate it… every tourist spot is so crowded now!
Hopefully this will help strengthen the yen a bit 🤞🏻
