Travel agencies in Japan are offering special packages catering to consumers who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The struggling tourism industry sees a silver lining in the vaccination program against the novel coronavirus as it expects the program to inspire more people not only to get jabs but also to go on trips.
The Japan Travel and Tourism Association in June released an emergency proposal that urged acceleration of vaccinations and the adoption of COVID-19 “passports” to confirm vaccinations.
The statement argued that “promoting trips taking advantage of inoculation certificates and other measures will lead to expanded exchanges between people.”
