Delta Airlines’ President Glen Hauenstein revealed that the number of tourists from the United States to Japan has reached a record high.
Hauenstein indicated that, aside from being influenced by school holidays, the demand in September, October, and November for European and Pacific routes is strong among retirees and double-income couples without children. He mentioned, “With the yen reaching 160 yen to the dollar, Japan has become a leisure market for Americans. Japan is a magnificent destination, and the fall season is doing incredibly well.”
Furthermore, he emphasized that the US-Japan routes have been performing exceptionally well after the recession of COVID-19, stating, “What we have seen is the new Japan as a destination market. When the yen was 83 yen, we might not have been able to afford to see all the wonderful things Japan and Japanese offerings had. Now that the yen is at 160, it’s a whole different world for American travelers, and they seem to be making the most of it.”
