Below is our translation of the original article:
The Japanese government has decided to restart the “Go To Travel,” campaign, a travel stimulus measure, after January of next year.
Tourists and others who have been affected by the corona virus outbreak are demanding an early resumption of the campaign. However, the government is first looking to determine whether the drugs that can help fight off the corona virus infection can be used commercially by the end of this year.
When the campaign is resumed, they will take vaccination and negative test results into account.
“Go To Travel” is a government-sponsored campaign that subsidizes individual travel costs. It started in July 2020, but was suspended in December 2020 due to the spread of the corona virus. Yesterday, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that he would like to use vaccines and tests in order to create a safer and more secure system.
The government is aiming for the commercialization of oral drugs by the end of the year. Next January, the third dose of vaccinations for the elderly will begin. A government official mentioned that there are a lot of important parts in regards to controlling the corona virus infection.
It has been pointed out that last year, the campaign was heavily focused on weekend travel, and staying at major hotels. This time, they plan to modify the campaign, with increased emphasis on weekday travel, and increasing the benefits for staying at small and medium-sized hotels and inns.
