A local bus operator in Japan launches a new package product incorporating PCR testing in tie-ups with a local clinic

Utsunomiya Kanko, a local bus and tour operator based in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, sells a new packaged travel product incorporating PCR testing in tie-ups with Kuramochi Clinic Interpark to provide travelers with confidence in traveling. In addition to the packaged product, a product with a test as option is offered.

A participant in the product tour collects saliva into a container that is sent from Utsunomiya Kanko and then brings it to the company for testing before departure. One PCR testing costs 15,000 JPY a person, and as an option, two testing opportunities before departure and after arrival are available at 30,000 JPY.
