訪日消費６２４４億円減　りそな総研が新型肺炎で試算

　りそな総合研究所は１２日、新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大により、訪日外国人旅行者（インバウンド）消費が全国で約６２４４億円減少するとの試算を発表した。百貨店やドラッグストアを中心とする物品販売業や宿泊業への打撃が大きい。
　２００２～０３年に流行した重症急性呼吸器症候群（ＳＡＲＳ）を参考に、感染拡大が４月ごろまで続き、訪日客の減少は２～５月にかけて進むとの前提で試算した。物販で約２３８９億円、宿泊で約１７１９億円、それぞれ消費が減少する。（2020/02/12-19:39）

The ongoing new coronavirus outbreak is likely to lead to a drop of 624.4 billion yen in spending by visitors to Japan, a private think tank said Wednesday.
   Retailers, such as department stores and drugstores, and hotels would be hit particularly hard by a plunge in the number of foreign visitors, including from not only China but other countries, the Resona Research Institute said.
   The think tank of the Resona Holdings Inc. group estimated the loss to the Japanese economy under the assumption that the novel coronavirus will continue to spread until around April as a virus causing SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, did in 2002-2003.
   The number of visitors is expected to keep declining until May, resulting in a fall of 238.9 billion yen in spending on goods and 171.9 billion yen for lodging, it said.
   Tokyo and six other Kanto prefectures in eastern Japan would suffer a loss of 218.1 billion yen and Osaka and five other Kansai prefectures in the west 190.5 billion yen, it added.
