TOKYO -- Japan hopes to see spending by foreign tourists go up 25% to 200,000 yen ($1,532) each in 2025 by attracting affluent jet-setters and having travelers stay for longer.
The new spending target, set under a draft tourism promotion proposal compiled Thursday, is 41,000 yen higher than the 159,000 yen spent in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
