Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for his summer vacation this year. He enjoyed the views of Florence and Rome without ever leaving Japan.
Inoue and his wife “flew” to Italy on First Airlines, a company known for entertainment(娱乐),not transportation. The Tokyo-based new company entered the fast growing online tourism early this year as many countries have stopped accepting foreign tourists.
“I often go to other countries on business, but I haven’t been to Italy,” Inoue said.“My impression was really good because I got a sense of actually seeing things there. First Airlines even gave us life jackets and oxygen masks(氧气罩)!”
The “passengers” on First Airlines sit in the first—or business-class areas of an airplane model. Workers serve meals and drinks as large screens show passing clouds and other views outside the airplane. The “travelers” then receive glasses that provide virtual reality(虚拟现实的) tours of places like Paris, New York, Hawaii and Rome.
The country’s biggest airline, ANA Holdings, said that the number of passengers flying to foreign countries fell by 96 percent since June when Japan has stopped most travel in and out of the country. The International Air Transport Association(IATA) and The International Tourism Association(ITA) said last month that international travels wouldn’t be able to recover until 2024.But they said the online travels have been growing very fast.
The president, Hiroaki Abe, said,“Since we started our online tour this year, our business has been increasing by 50 percent each month. Most of our customers usually travel to other countries every year and they can now experience some of that here when they are unable to go to the real attractions.”
