1月27日(ichigatsu nijyushichi nichi): January 27

Yesterday I wrote about the number of foreigners that visited Japan last year was the most in history.
In today's paper there were reasons for their visit. 57.8% came to Japan for sightseeing. 22.7% came to Japan for business. People from Asian countries such as Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan came to Japan mainly for sightseeing. People from the USA, UK, and Germany mainly came to Japan for business.
Among people who came to Japan for sightseeing, 52.9% were repeaters, but it was 3.5 points less than the previous year.
Tourists expect meals, shopping, and historical site visit.
What is your purpose for traveling abroad?
