ＧＷ予算、昨年の１．４倍　国内旅行予定も倍増―明治安田調査

　明治安田生命保険は２５日、家計に関するアンケート調査を発表した。今年のゴールデンウイーク（ＧＷ）に使う１世帯当たりの予算平均は２万９５４４円と、２０２１年（２万４６３円）から約１．４倍に増加。過ごし方では「国内旅行」との回答が昨年の４．９％から１１．２％へ倍増しており、新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大に伴う「巣ごもりＧＷ」から脱却しつつあることがうかがえた。
　調査は３月下旬にインターネット上で実施し、１６２０人が回答。明治安田総合研究所の小玉祐一フェローチーフエコノミストは「新型コロナ対策のまん延防止等重点措置の全面解除に加え、長期休暇が取りやすい日並びとなったことが追い風となっている」と分析した。（2022/04/25-17:15）

Japanese households' average budget for this year's Golden Week holiday period rose 1.4-fold from a year before to 29,544 yen, a survey by Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Co. has shown.
   The survey, released Monday, also showed that the proportion of respondents planning on a domestic trip during the holiday period from late April to early May came to 11.2 pct, up from last year's 4.9 pct.
   This suggests that more people are moving away from a stay-at-home holiday, which was seen over the past two years amid the spread of the novel coronavirus.
   The survey was conducted online in late March, with 1,620 people giving answers.
   The results of this year's survey reflect the government's full removal of COVID-19 pre-emergency measures last month and this year's calendar making it easier to take a longer vacation, said Yuichi Kodama, economist at Meiji Yasuda Research Institute Inc.
