State-subsidized travel campaign in Japan

Japanese tourism minister Kazuyoshi Akaba bows to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe prior to a Cabinet meeting in Tokyo on July 21, 2020. Akaba said at a press conference the same day that the government will cover cancellation fees incurred by Tokyoites and those who planned to travel to the capital after making them ineligible at the last minute to use the government's travel subsidy campaign aimed at shoring up a domestic travel industry hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
