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
