踏入淡季 9月遊日港人減12%

日本政府觀光局(JNTO)公布9月遊客數字,月內只有香港訪日人數錄得下跌,按年減少12.2%,至14.95萬人次,跌幅較8月有所加大。當局解釋,由於訪日需求進入淡季,加上颱風影響導致航班取消,以及去年中秋節假期在9月、今年卻在10月,才導致9月遊日港人數目出現下滑。 事實上,今年受7月地震的謠言影響,遊日港人數目已連跌多月;今年首9個月,遊日港人累計達182.27萬人次,按年仍跌7.6%。 外國客量首破300萬人次 此外,日本9月整體外國遊客人數達326萬人次,按年升13.7%,創下9月新高,亦是9月首次突破300萬人次。JNTO指出,到9月暑假已結束,旅遊需求趨於平緩,雖然東亞地區因颱風影響了航班,但赴日旅遊持續火爆,令9月訪日外國遊客數量有所增加。 來自南韓、內地、台灣及東南亞等地的遊日訪客顯著增長,特別是內地客,9月按年大增18.9%,至77.5萬人次,成為日本最大的客源地。中東地區旅客訪日人數創下單月新高,反映該地區對日本旅遊持續感興趣。今年首9個月,訪日外國遊客數目達3165萬人次,是有紀錄以來最快超過3000萬人次大關。 Source link
