    The amount spent in Japan by inbound visitors has continued to increase in recent years, and this robust consumption has become important for Japan's industries and economy. When travelers come to like Japan through exciting experiences, international understanding also deepens. At the same time, responding to issues such as overtourism caused by the rapid rise in inbound travel has become increasingly important. The Jan./Feb. 2027 cover story, "Progress and Challenges in Japan's Inbound Tourism Economy", will examine these current developments and emerging issues. The issue will be published on our website on Jan. 10, 2027.
