夏休み国内旅行、コロナ前並みに　前年比７割増、遠方志向も―ＪＴＢ調査

　ＪＴＢは７日、夏休み期間（７月１５日～８月３１日）に１泊以上の国内旅行に出掛ける人が前年実績（推計値）比７５％増の延べ７０００万人となる見通しだと発表した。新型コロナウイルス発生前の２０１９年と比較すると、９６．７％とほぼ同水準となる。
　今年６月下旬に行ったアンケート調査や各種経済指標を基に推計した。
　宿泊日数は「１泊」が減少したのに対し、「２～３泊」が増えた。行き先を居住地付近から遠方に移す傾向も見られ、平均費用は３万５５００円と前年から７．６％増加。欧米を中心に入国制限が緩和されたことを反映し、海外旅行に行く人の数も５０万人と前年比５倍超に増える見込みだ。
　旅行に「行かない」「多分行かない」と答えた人の割合は前年より１４．７ポイント低い６３．９％。理由として混雑や家計の問題を挙げる声が多く、コロナへの感染懸念は３９．７ポイント減り２４．８％にとどまった。（2022/07/07-20:11）

The number of people set to travel in Japan during the upcoming summer holiday period is estimated to almost recover to the level before the coronavirus pandemic, travel agency JTB Corp. said Thursday.
   According to the firm's estimate, some 70 million people, up 75 pct year on year, plan to travel for at least one night between July 15 and Aug. 31, with the figure representing 96.7 pct of the 2019 level. The average travel cost is 35,500 yen, up 7.6 pct.
   The estimate is based on a survey conducted late last month and several economic indicators.
   Citing the survey results, JTB said 36.1 pct of respondents at least expect to go on a trip during the period, up 14.7 percentage points from a year earlier, with more people planning to stay for two or three nights. A growing number of people chose travel destinations farther from where they live, it added.
   On the other hand, the survey found that the proportion of people having no intention of traveling declined 14.7 points to 63.9 pct. Many such people said they do not like congestion or have ample funds, while those who voiced concerns over the coronavirus infection risk decreased markedly.
