Japan Tourism Agency Launches Kyushu Recovery Support Discount
Fukuoka Prefecture will begin sales of the “Kyushu Recovery Support Discount Fukuoka Campaign,” part of the government-backed Kyushu Recovery Support Discount travel program, in stages from September 24.
The eligible stay period is from October 1 through December 15 (checkout the following day). The prefecture has allocated ¥1.96093 billion in its supplementary budget for September.
The Kyushu Recovery Support Discount applies to travel and accommodation products in the Kyushu region that include at least one overnight stay, offering a 50% discount on travel and accommodation costs. Kumamoto and Kagoshima prefectures, where cancellations have had a significant impact on tourism, offer a 60% discount. The maximum discount is ¥20,000 per night for accommodation-only products and transportation-inclusive accommodation travel products; ¥30,000 for transportation-inclusive accommodation travel products of two or more nights; and ¥35,000 for touring travel products that include accommodations in two or more prefectures.
Sales and implementation periods vary by prefecture, and some prefectures also offer their own support programs.
