John MacKenzie chats with David Nye, Manager of Aviation & Business Development at Cairns Airport, about the recent changes made in Japan in regard to Covid-19 and international tourism.
The recent announcement was made by Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and will see the number of permits to travel from Japan increase from 20,000 to 50,000. The requirement to provide a negative PCR test has also been scrapped.
Whilst entry into Japan for individual travelers remains closed, non-guided package tours can now operate from September 7th.
This is exciting news for Cairns and Tropical North Queensland needing to recover lost international tourism markets.
