When can I go on an overseas trip? I talked to the tour conductor at the forefront!

The other day, I listened to a lecture by Mr. Hiroshi Goto, who is in charge of the overseas airline ticket division of JST, an overseas travel agency that has been in Nagoya for over 40 years, and is also a tour conductor at Asakatsu Network Nagoya. I listen to JST President Nishi's lecture every year, and I'm always impressed, but all the employees are really nice.

Mr. Goto used to work at another travel agency, but he seems to be a fairly black company, and he changed his job to JST and was surprised at the whiteness, "Is the same travel agency so different?" JST boasts an amazing number of repeat rates of 80%.

This time, I would like to introduce Mr. Goto, who is at the forefront, for accurate information on the latest information on overseas travel.

Regarding the current situation of overseas travel, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Italy in Europe have completed the two-week quarantine in the field and are accepting as usual. Europe is highly dependent on the tourism industry and has been eased because it will have a major impact on the economy unless it increases its freedom without restricting its actions.

Half of the 80 countries that do not have behavioral restrictions are European countries. However, due to the recent re-spread of the infection, behavioral restrictions may be imposed.

There are still many wait-and-see countries in Asia, and there are restrictions on behavior such as refraining from going out for two weeks after entering Japan.

In North America, the United States has the highest number of infections and deaths in the world, but there are no restrictions on behavior. Hawaii is looking for ways to lift local behavioral restrictions through preliminary PCR tests. Canada is quite nervous and isolated.

Since the PCR test costs about 40,000 to 50,000 yen, it is quite difficult for travelers to bear the cost, and if this is requested, it will be difficult to recover overseas travel.

Most airlines have decided to suspend flights overseas until the end of November, so it is virtually impossible to go abroad for sightseeing. Many long-haul flights such as Europe are suspended until the end of March, and it is not possible to fly until April.

On the other hand, reservations for overseas weddings are strong, and honeymoon reservations for next year's Golden Week and Obon holidays are beginning to come in. It seems that the corona fraud turmoil has settled down at this time of year ...

As far as Mr. Goto's story is heard, it seems that the full-scale recovery of overseas travel will be after Golden Week next year. I had accumulated a lot of miles as a land mylar, but I couldn't use it easily ...
Two years later, when I turn 50 years old, I am given the right to take a two-week vacation as a refreshment vacation, so I am planning to travel with a round-the-world ticket. When I asked Mr. Goto about the recommended route around the world, he said that the route "Tokyo → New York → Frankfurt → Sri Lanka → Thailand → Tokyo" is good. The reason is that this route has the latest airplanes. It goes without saying that newer airplanes are more comfortable than automobiles.

Round-the-world tickets cost about 300,000 yen in economy class and 700,000 yen in business class. If it's miles, it depends on the mileage, but if it's business class, it's said that you can go with 200,000 to 300,000 miles, so I wonder if it will be possible to earn one person in two years.

Thank you for reading it until the very end！
