Japan: Japan's tourism industry is concerned that the current tensions between Japan and China over Taiwan could have a prolonged impact.

According to Philippines News Agency, amid the tensions, the Chinese government has advised its citizens not to visit Japan, resulting in flight and hotel room cancellations.

The operator of Kansai International Airport in the western Japan prefecture of Osaka reports that the number of flights scheduled for December between the Japanese airport and mainland China, excluding Hong Kong and Macau, has been cut by 34 percent from the initial plan.

This reduction is due to Chinese airlines decreasing flights, and the airport operator expects the number of such flights to fall by an average of 28 percent between January and March.

In Osaka, about 50 to 70 percent of reservations made by Chinese nationals for the remainder of this year have been canceled at 21 hotels.
