A couple of days ago, I wrote about how China issued a travel warning for Japan, advising citizens against traveling to the country. The government of China argued that Japan was “unstable, with a high number of criminal incidents targeting Chinese citizens,” and the “security environment” has “continued to deteriorate.”
In reality, it seemed pretty clear that this was simply part of a diplomatic spat, with Japan’s new Prime Minister showing support for Taiwan, in the event that China tries to invade. I was curious to what extent these travel warnings would actually impact demand, and now we have our answer…
As another interesting figure, on Sunday, 27 times more people canceled flights between China and Japan than booked tickets.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
