What is the Go To Travel Campaign?

In order to stimulate travel demand that has declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
This is a tourism support measure in which the government subsidizes half the cost of accommodation and day trips for domestic travel
| Maximum 20,000 yen per person per night
Maximum of 10,000 yen for day trips ) ・70% will be used to discount travel costs, and 30% will be used as a regional coupon that can be used at the travel destination. ・There are no restrictions on consecutive nights or number of uses |
How do I apply for the GoTo Travel Campaign?
You can make reservations at a registered travel agency in person or online
Reservations can also be made directly by phone or online with hotels, inns, and other accommodations that are registered as participating businesses
The GoTo Travel campaign can also be applied to travel booking sites!
What travel products are eligible for subsidies?
This is a travel plan that is eligible for discounts under the Go To Travel campaign, and we've put it all together in an easy-to-understand diagram!
In the case of accommodation



Travel packages that include transportation (airplanes, trains, buses, highways, etc.) and accommodation,
This applies to a variety of travel plans, including package tours and organized tours
There are also tour sets for "sleeper trains," "cruise ships," and "night ferries,"
A wide range of travel products are also eligible, including group trips such as school trips and company trips!
For accommodation, all methods are eligible for discounts,
Transportation arranged by individuals (only airplanes, only trains, only buses, only highways, etc.) is not covered
Refundable tickets, express tickets, ferry tickets, etc. are not eligible to be refunded in order to prevent fraud
Looking at it this way, it seems like travel agencies' accommodation and transportation package deals are a better deal!
For day trips



For day trips, this applies to trips that combine round-trip transportation costs with services at the destination
You can combine various activities such as hot springs, experiential activities, and fruit picking!
The purpose of the campaign is to encourage people to spend money at their travel destination, so using only transportation does not qualify
How long is the Go To Travel campaign?
| ◆Overnight trip:From July 22nd to January 31st, 2021 (check-out on February 1st)
◆Day trips: From July 22nd to departures on January 31st, 2021 |
*For the time being, the campaign will be held during the above period
However, if the entire national Go To Travel budget is used up, the campaign will end at that point
Please also consider the possibility that the end date may be brought forward!
If you already have plans in mind, it's best to make your reservation early!
How much will be subsidized?
So how cheap can you travel?
I will explain it with examples to make it easier to understand!

For example, if you book a hotel room for 20,000 yen per person per night,
The total amount paid at the time of booking is 20,000 yen , 7,000 yen , will be discounted, leaving you paying 13,000 yen
You will receive a regional coupon worth 3,000 yen at a later date
The total amount of the benefit 10,000 yen , so travelers will effectively pay half the amount, 10,000 yen
It's a great deal!!
What's more, the discounted price is automatically applied when you make a reservation, so no need for any procedures !
You can't miss this opportunity!
*Before booking, please make sure to check if the product is eligible for the Go To Travel Campaign!

|
