In Japan, the government has launched a controversial campaign to boost the domestic tourism sector that's hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The scheme, called "Go to Travel," allows domestic travelers to apply for discounts on transport and accommodation. Tokyo is excluded from the campaign due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the city. Many Tokyo residents have voiced concern over the campaign, saying the launch is inappropriate.
