If the thought of waiting until the 2015 Rugby World Cup to visit Japan is less appealing right now, consider going there sooner, and for free, courtesy of the country’s tourism agency. The Japan Tourism Agency has announced it will fund airfares for 10 000 foreign travelers in an attempt to help the country’s plummeting tourism levels recover in the face of nuclear disaster.
People interested in receiving free flights to Japan will be asked to submit an online application with details of the areas of the country they’d like to visit. If you’re selected, you’ll need to write an account of your visit, and the report will be published on the internet.
Japan’s tourist industry suffered a 50% decline in the three months after March’s earthquake and tsunami double disaster, and the explosions at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant which ensued.
