The epidemic caused Japanese hoteliers to complain about the poor quality of Japanese tourists, which exposed their "nature" this time.

Text/Observer Network Yan Shanshan165438+1Since mid-October, the number of Japanese COVID-19 cases has increased significantly, and the "third wave" epidemic is threatening. But what scares Japanese hoteliers more than the uncontrollable epidemic is the quality of Japanese domestic tourists.

According to Japanese media reports on June165438+1October 2 1 day, after the implementation of the tourism revitalization plan, many hotel staff complained that the quality of tourists had been greatly reduced, and some Japanese tourists had excessive behaviors such as sexually harassing waiters and stealing hair dryers. Japanese media lamented that the Japanese completely exposed their "nature" this time.

As a part of the Japanese government's Go To campaign, Go To Travel aims to boost the Japanese tourism industry affected by the epidemic and improve the Japanese people's willingness to travel.

The plan mainly focuses on travel discounts, that is, issuing coupons to the public that can be used in hotels, tourist attractions, souvenir shops and other places. According to the statistics of Japan Tourism Agency, the average accommodation fee per person per night can be subsidized by 4,743 yen (about 300 yuan RMB).

However, discounts are convenient for Japanese tourists, but "bitter" for Japanese hotels.

According to the website 2 1 of Japan's Nikkei Modern, a woman who works in a star-rated hotel in Tokyo said: "After the implementation of Go To Travel, the quality of the guests has changed. Words and deeds make people doubt human nature. "

According to her introduction, some of these low-quality Japanese tourists have sexually harassed hotel employees many times; Some people make discriminatory remarks about foreign service personnel; Some people don't take the initiative to declare when they check out after drinking the alcohol and soft drinks that need to be charged in the room; Some people even bring hair dryers, bathrobes, clothes hangers and so on. This kind of bad behavior is too numerous to mention.

The staff also said that the above behavior was "impossible" before the implementation of where to travel. Last month, a hotel alarm was stolen, costing hundreds of thousands of yen.

Another hotel staff member also said that it is best for foreign tourists.

"Things will be better when we receive inbound guests," the staff admitted. In the past, group tourists were just noisy, but when they checked out, they were clean and their rooms were kept clean.

But things are different now. A senior hotel service staff complained: "Japanese customers who travel through Go now only care about how much they can eat. After eating, the leftovers on the table are all dirty. While cleaning the room, I found out why they can get so dirty after staying for one night. It's a mess When someone called the waiter, he even took off his mask and spat. "

According to the report, due to the above-mentioned low-quality behavior of Japanese tourists, the advanced services provided by hotels for preferential schemes may have to be reduced or cancelled.

Old customers who frequented the hotel before the epidemic also avoided it because they couldn't stand the chaotic atmosphere brought by Go travel users. This vicious circle appears in many hotels.

The report pointed out that ironically, before the outbreak, the Japanese were highly respected for their "noble morality and good manners". Now, traveling exposes the true "nature" of the Japanese.

In fact, the Japanese media used to rave about the quality of overseas tourists, and neighboring China, South Korea and Taiwan Province Province of China were all the targets of their criticism.

In Tsushima Island, a shopkeeper posted a notice saying "Koreans are forbidden to enter the store".

Japanese TV stations spit out tourists who use Chinese.

According to the statistics of Japan Tourism Agency, by the end of 10, there were 39.76 million Japanese tourists who used Go To Travel discount, with a total discount of more than 208.7 billion yen (about132 billion yuan), of which the total discount of accommodation and travel expenses was about188.6 billion yen (about1656)
