The following isn't too much of a surprise.
A recent survey of potential tourists have selected a country they most want to visit once the pandemic ends.
Japan Today reported:
TOKYO - Japan is feeling a little lonely these days. After several years of skyrocketing popularity as an international travel destination, coronavirus-triggered restrictions on non-essential entry to the country has brought inbound tourism to a halt.
But it looks like the lull in international travel to Japan is only going to be a temporary situation. The Development Bank of Japan and Japan Travel Bureau Foundation have released the results of a recent survey on would-be travelers’ post-pandemic plans, and Japan is at the top of their to-go lists.
The online survey collected roughly 6,200 responses from people in 12 countries, including the U.S., China, France, and Korea. 82 percent said they plan to travel overseas once the pandemic ends, and when asked where they want to go, Japan was the top answer, chosen by 46 percent of respondents. Korea and Taiwan ranked second and third, with 22 and 17 percent, respectively.
