Japan Inbound Tourism Falls in May Amid Fewer Flights

Japan's inbound tourism numbers fell in May, continuing a downward trend that began earlier in the year.

Reduced flight capacity across several international routes contributed to the lower visitor totals, according to industry data cited by @business. The same data showed that the decrease affected multiple source markets rather than being limited to one region.

Visitor figures had risen steadily in prior months before the recent slowdown. No immediate policy changes or external events were linked to the flight reductions in the available reporting.
