Japan to offer thousands of free airfares to lure tourists

[Anonymous No.]

>Seeking to lure tourists to a nation still reeling from the effects of the March earthquake and tsunami, Japan says it will make it easier for foreign travelers to visit: It'll offer free airline tickets.

>Officials next year plan to offer 10,000 travelers free airfares to visit the country, which is still coping with the tsunami-triggered nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant several hundred miles north of Tokyo. Government officials say the nation is safe for travel anywhere but the area near the stricken nuclear power plant.

>The Japan Tourism Agency announced this week that it plans to ask would-be travelers to submit online applications for the free flights, detailing the region of the country they would like to visit, according to a story in the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.

>The agency will select winning entrants, who will be required to write a review of their experiences in Japan to be published on the Internet. Travelers are asked to cover their own hotels and meals.
Officials hope that positive reports from tourists will help lure travelers back to Japan, which endured a 50% drop in tourism for the first three months following the March 11 disaster, compared with numbers from the same period in 2010.

not helpful since they're not paying for the lounging or land transportation.

If they want tourists, they should make Japan cool again. I recommend having Samurai Faires and making girls wear kimono and letting people get off of their first offense of groping/fucking a school girl with just a warning.

Or isn't ironic how they slurr and drag any type of foreigner's reputation in the mud but when they need to help their crumbling economy they coming running to the international communities on their knees. Meanwhile still completely shunning and treating foreign nationals like complete shit.

Fuck Japan, enjoy your next 10 years of economic hallowing out. Maybe you'll attempt to become a real democracy in that period of time.

Now's your chance to go to the most deeply racist areas of Japan. Establishments that make you give a bad review will probably be forced to shut down. You can go into public baths and onsen and be fat and hairy near them. You can go to rural shrines and stick your dick into their goddesses. You can shop whatever you please with your broken unintelligible Japanese.

That's bullshit.
It was 77 last month.
Why won't the yen devalue like the rest of the world's currencies?

Hopefully the yen will crash soon.
Having a devalued currency is actually better for exporting because more countries will import from you. That's how China became so rich.

actually it's because their business mentality involves almost no oversight and even less regard for human life

corporation paradise

the west had been trying to dissuade corporations from running off to china for decades

and despite enjoying the economic windfall created by free market, china still insists that it success stems from communism instead of capitalism
