The occupation rate of 32 ryokans in Kyoto City was 11.5%, 16.7 lower points than a year ago, because of more cancelations or postponements of group travels including school trips during the emergency declaration period.

DMO KYOTO, however, expects that school trips will increase by 11.7% in the period from October 2021 to March 2022 compared to its prospect in July 2021. Around 40% of all school trips originally scheduled in August or September seem to be postponed to the second half of FY2021.
