Japan Travel Market Data Sheet 2021-2025

Summary

Japan’s travel industry thrived before the pandemic, serving as a key stronghold for the Japanese economy. But COVID-19 abruptly halted the structural growth of the Japanese travel market. After plummeting 53% in 2020, the country’s travel segment shrank further in 2021, with another 10% year-over-year decline. Installing some of the strictest border controls globally, international leisure travel has been totally off limits through mid-2022, and is reopening very slowly. Strict COVID protocols remain, and recovery is anticipated to unfold gradually over the forecast period.

This data sheet provides quick and easy access to updated Japan travel market sizing data and projections from 2019-2025, including online and total markets, segments and major distribution channels. Much of the data included here, along with expanded analysis, is also featured in Phocuswright’s Japan Travel Market Report 2021-2025 (coming soon).
