“Japan. Thank You”

Japan's tourism industry had a rough year due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting tsunami and radiation problems of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. But indications are that the industry is recovering.

According to eTravelBlackboard.com:

Marking the one year anniversary of the Japan Earthquake, Japan Tourism Agency and Japan National Tourism Org have launched a new campaign called “Japan. Thank You.”

The aim of the campaign is to express the people of Japan’s appreciation to people around the world who have given their support to the region since it was severely affected by the earthquake and its aftermath.

According to JTA the country's recovery has been more rapid than previously expected, with international tourist arrivals for January 2012 at about 700,000, representing only a 4.5 percent decrease compared to the same time last year.

Through the new design logo “Japan. Thank You”, Japan wishes to show their sincere gratitude to all the tourists from overseas for their continued support.

Some of the main activities include a special logo “Japan. Thank You.” and a special poster to be displayed in various parts of the world.
