Would you sign up for free airfare to Japan? We sure would.
The Japan Tourism Agency is requesting more than a billion yen from lawmakers to fund 10,000 free roundtrip tickets to the country. Their goal is to bring more tourists that will write about their experiences since the number of tourists visiting Japan have declined drastically as a result of the earthquake, tsunami and recent nuclear disaster. Those granted the free roundtrip will have to blog about their experiences and cover the costs of hotel accommodations and food. If lawmakers approve the funding, visitors could start applying as early as April 2012. If approved, will you be applying?
