飲食店、３割超が「廃業検討」　緊急事態宣言解除も先行き厳しく―商工リサーチ

　東京商工リサーチが２１日発表した新型コロナウイルスに関するアンケート調査結果によると、「廃業を検討する可能性がある」と答えた飲食店が３３．９％に上った。前回４月調査から３．５ポイントの増加。感染防止策で東京都などに発令された緊急事態宣言が解除され、２１日から条件付きで酒類提供が認められたが、先行きはなお厳しそうだ。
　廃業検討の可能性があるとの回答は、飲食店のほか、宿泊業、結婚式場や劇場など生活関連サービス業で３割を超えた。商工リサーチは「宿泊や飲食などの対面型サービスはコロナ収束後も売り上げが大きく伸びるとは考えにくい」として、経営不安は当面拭えないとの見方を示した。（2021/06/21-20:19）

Of eating and drinking establishments in Japan, 33.9 pct said they may consider closing their businesses, a private survey has shown.
   The proportion of such eateries rose by 3.5 percentage points from the previous survey conducted in April, Tokyo Shoko Research Ltd. said in a survey report Monday.
   Even though restaurants in Tokyo and other parts of Japan restarted serving alcoholic drinks conditionally as novel coronavirus measures were eased Monday in those areas, the latest survey showed that business prospects for the dining industry remain bleak.
   The percentage of respondents saying they may consider business closure exceeded 30 pct also for the hotel industry and providers of services related to people's daily lives, such as operators of theaters and wedding halls.
   "Industries offering face-to-face services, including hotels and restaurants, will unlikely see their sales grow substantially even after the coronavirus is brought under control," a Tokyo Shoko Research official said, offering the view that management anxieties felt by such businesses may not be eliminated for the time being.
