Japan reopens to tourists in hopes of reviving economy

Tokyo, Oct 11 (EFE).- Japan on Monday reopened to foreign tourists after almost three years by eliminating its daily entry quota and resuming its bilateral short-stay visa waiver agreements in hopes of revitalizing its economy.

The country maintained the hardest border restrictions among the G7 powers and some of the most severe among the major world powers (not counting China), which had slowed the post-Covid recovery of tourism and its economy.

Among the measures removed Tuesday was the daily entry cap of 50,000 people and the requirement to travel as part of a package tour. (Camera: FRANCK ROBICHON).
