How to Travel When You’re 100: An Analysis of the “Travel Divide” (1) I am a huge fan of traveling. I have traveled over 200 times, both domestically and internationally. It’s safe to say that traveling is my favorite activity. I believe many others like me love to travel. My life goal is to continue traveling even when I’m 100 years old. However, it’s clear that the frequency of travel decreases for the elderly. Not just the elderly but also people with disabilities and families with infants and young children travel less frequently compared to the average. Is this a natural occurrence?

Thinking through the Continued Zero Sales We have had zero sales since the company’s inception on December 7, 2021. Naturally, we are in the red for our costs. The reason is due to the inability of individual foreign tourists to come to Japan due to COVID-19. Europe, the U.S., and some Asian countries reopened overseas travel since spring 2022. We had expected that the Japanese government would ease the entry of individual foreign tourists in the fall of 2022. However, we must say that the easing of re-entry in the fall of 2022 has become more difficult by increasing the number of COVID-19-positive since mid-July (the 7th wave). Our deficit will continue until the easing of immigration. I’veread moreAiming to bridge the travel divide
