As Japan's Tourism Industry Recovers, Travel Guide Sales Increase

Recent reports on the recovery of Japan's tourism industry (many of which I've written about here) seems to coincide with the uptick in sales of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.

There was another such report today from DFNIonline.com.

As I mentioned sometime back, the sales of the travel guide has been moving upward for the first couple of months of 2012. And, so far, March is no exception.

I recently requested payment from ComiXpress. Before doing so, I generally wait for the amounts owed to accumulate. Several orders came in immediately following my payment request. It appears that the amounts are accumulating at a faster pace which will lead to more frequent payment requests. No complaints here on that score!

As we get nearer to this year's vacation season, it will be interesting to see if the trend continues.
