2018725 1426

記録的な豪雨が発生して以降、広島県や岡山県にある宿泊施設の予約をキャンセルした人は、推計で合わせておよそ28万人に上り、55億円ほどの減収額が見込まれることがわかりました。

広島県と岡山県は、記録的な豪雨が発生して以降に県内にあるホテルや旅館などの宿泊施設の一部を抽出してキャンセルの状況を調査し、県全体での件数を推計しました。

その結果、予約のキャンセル数は、広島県内では800の施設でおよそ18万人、岡山県内では749の施設でおよそ10万人で、両県で合わせておよそ28万人に上ることがわかりました。

これによる減収額は、広島県で45億円程度、岡山県で10億円程度の合わせて55億円ほどと見込まれています。

岡山県によりますと、豪雨で大きな被害が出た倉敷市真備町から10キロ余り離れた倉敷市の美観地区でも、主な文化施設に訪れた人の数が去年と同じ時期に比べて半分以下に落ち込んでいます。直接被災していない地域などでも影響が出ているということです。

広島、岡山両県では、県内の主要な観光地はほぼ平常どおりに営業し、観光に支障はないとして、ホームページやSNSによる情報発信などを通じて観光業への支援を強化していくことにしています。

Translation

After a record torrential downpour occurred in Hiroshima-ken and Okayama-ken, the people who canceled accommodation reservation had reached approximately 280,000 people in total by estimation, and it was expected that their income would decrease by about 5,500 million yen.

After a record torrential downpour occurred in Hiroshima-ken and Okayama-ken, some of the accommodation in hotels and Japanese-style inns in the prefecture were picked out to investigate the situation so as to estimate the number of cancellation in the whole prefecture.

As a result, regarding that number of reservation cancellation in Hiroshima-ken approximately 180,000 people canceled reservation in 800 facilities while in Okayama-ken approximately 100,000 people canceled reservation at 749 facilities. Together at both prefectures it was found out that the total reached approximately 280,000 people.

Regarding the decreased income, it was about 4,500 million yen in Hiroshima-ken and of about 1,000 million yen in Okayama-ken, all together it was believed to reach about 5,500 million yen.

According to Okayama-ken, the number of the people who visited the senic area in Kurashiki-shi, which was about 10 kilometers away from Kurashiki-shi Mabi-cho that had a torrential downpour causing big damage, the people who visited the key cultural facilities went down by more than half compared with the same time last year. It was said that the area with no torrential downpour directly had also suffered.

At Hiroshima and Okayama two prefectures, the main tourist spots of these prefectures were mostly running as usual, and as it was supposed that there were no troubles to do sightseeing, home page and information sent by SNS were used to strengthen support to the sightseeing trade.

So tourism in Japan was affected by the heavy rain and bad weather. I hope it will recover soon.
