Japan Tourism Rebounds as China Slump Made Up by Other Regions

Japan’s inbound tourism numbers returned to growth in February, as an increase from other regions made up for a continued slump in Chinese tourists.

Total inbound arrivals rose 6.4% last month after a contraction in January, Japan National Tourism Organization data showed Wednesday. Visitors from South Korea rose 28%, while arrivals from the major markets of Taiwan, Hong Kong and the US also increased.
