Japan mulls extending travel subsidy campaign past January english.kyodonews.net

The Japanese government is considering extending its domestic travel subsidy program beyond late January to continue support for the tourism sector amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Although a new end date is yet to be determined, some ruling party members are calling for an extension through the spring holiday season for the "Go To Travel" campaign, which was launched in late July to boost struggling domestic tourism and consumption, the sources said.
