20:53 JST, December 25, 2023
People’s average budget for domestic travel during the New Year’s holiday season has risen by about 30% from last year to ¥45,235, according to a survey released Monday by research-firm Intage.
The average amount that people plan to spend on domestic travel increased by some ¥10,000 from last year due to higher prices and the downgrading of COVID-19’s severity under the Infectious Diseases Law.
The survey was conducted in late November with 5,000 people ages 15-79 nationwide.
For their holiday plans, 18.5% of respondents said they would go to their parents’ homes, up 2.5 percentage points from last year, and 8.3% said they would take a domestic trip of one night or more, up 0.7 points.
