The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Domestic travel grew in Tohoku, where demand for cooler destinations amid the record-breaking heat and summer festivals provided a tailwind, while Okinawa struggled amid flight cancellations caused by multiple typhoons, and Kyushu was affected by earthquakes and typhoons. Overseas travel grew to relatively affordable destinations such as Australia and Vietnam, while Europe, the Middle East and Africa were affected by the situation in the Middle East. Inbound travel benefited from stronger demand, particularly from Europe and the United States, as well as orders from the European market and large-scale MICE events.
