Lower Won Halves Foreign Tourist Lodgings


The Kyushu District Transport Bureau reports the number of tourists lodging in Kyushu during the January-March 2009 quarter fell by 8.0% from the previous year to roughly 7.416 million people. This is a significantly higher total than the national decline of 5.6%. Focusing on the totals for foreign tourists alone shows the decline was 55.8% for Kyushu, which is the primary destination for many Korean tourists. This was attributed to the depreciation of the won.
