Nuclear discharge leading tourists to rethink travel plans

China Daily  

A man takes a photo of cherry blossoms in Tokyo on March 13, 2023. Japan's move to discharge nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean from Thursday has prompted some Chinese tourists and tourism agencies to reconsider their travel plans to the country. "I have received quite a number of inquiries on trips to Japan in recent weeks, but news of the nuclear-contaminated water will definitely affect tourism to the country," Di Mingyang, an employee at a travel agency in Beijing, said on Sunday. According to online travel services provider Trip.com Group, searches for trips to Japan had surpassed Thailand and Singapore to come on top on a list of favorable overseas destinations as of Aug 17, and bookings for group tours in Japan had increased significantly this month compared to July. A travel agent based in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, surnamed Dai, said that the number of self-guided tours to Japan has risen markedly in recent months, but the sentiment has changed following its decision to release wastewater.
