Business Monitor International has issued their Japan Tourism Report Q3 2013.
The news release with the report states:
The Great East Japan earthquake, resulting tsunami and ensuing nuclear crisis of March 2011 had a sharp impact on the Japanese tourism industry, immediately decreasing inbound and domestic tourist activity, with inbound travel falling by 27.78% to 6.2mn in 2011. Figures were recovering in 2012, when inbound travel reaching approximately 7.14mn. However we do not expect inbound travel to fully recover, ie, regain the 2010 arrivals figure of 8.61mn, until 2014.
