Japan is planning for a huge influx of tourists for the Summer Olympics in 2021

News

This is not directly relevant to FX, no (though I suppose there will need to be yen bought for the influx).

Its an interesting read nevertheless on what the Japanese government is planning to keep people safe:

  • Vaccines will not be mandatory
  • Visitors who submit proof of a negative coronavirus test and agree to use apps to facilitate contact tracing can skip the two-week quarantine
  • Use of public transportation will remain unrestricted

So far:

  • Around 4.45 million tickets have been sold to domestic buyers
  • nearly 1 million more purchased overseas

With any luck a vaccine will complement these measures.
