These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Outbound travel benefited from the Silver Week effect, which occurred for the first time in 11 years, an expanded product lineup, promotional initiatives and demand centered on long-haul routes. Although initiatives such as the Kyushu Recovery Discount supported domestic travel, cancellations due to reports of an approaching typhoon and flight cancellations, as well as the adverse effect of the prior year's large-scale event in the Kansai region, had an impact. Inbound travel was affected by a decline following the prior year's large-scale event group bookings, while the acceptance of large groups from North America and Australia and sales of seasonal products contributed positively.
