◆ GoTo Travel Campaign

From October 1 (Thu.), the second edition of the campaign offering discounts on travel price + giving regional coupon will start.
Let’s take a brief look at Go To Travel.

There will be a 35% discount on the travel price and a regional coupon worth 15% of the travel price will be offered.

Let’s see how much it actually costs, using the travel price of 20,000 yen as an example! ]
・ 20,000 yen (travel price) – 7,000 yen (35% of travel price) =​ 13,000 yen (payment price)
・ Additional 15% of 20,000 yen =​ 3,000 yen (regional coupon fee)

So​ for an initial 20,000 yen​for accommodation fee, you will only pay 13,000 yen​ and receive a regional coupon worth 3,000 yen​ to be spent locally.

[Upper limit of support amount]
・ Per person per night​ up to 20,000 yen
・ Day trip​ up to 10,000 yen
There are no restrictions on consecutive nights or the number of times you can use it.
Example:​ for 5 nights it will amount to​ up to 100,000 yen

[Regional Coupon]
・ Based on total trip fees,​ 15%​ of that amount will be given as regional coupon​ to be used locally.
For amounts of less than 1,000 yen, it will be rounded off (if it is 500 yen or more, a coupon of 1,000 yen will be given).
・ There will be no change
・ Coupons are distributed by travel agencies and accommodation facilities.
・ This is for trips starting on or after October 1, 2020.

◆ Combine three campaigns to save even more!

What makes me happy this time is that these three campaigns can be used together.

For example, if you stay at an accommodation facility priced at 20,000 yen but use the three campaigns together, I would like to calculate how much you will actually have to pay.

[Go To Campaign]
20,000 – 7,000 yen (35% of accommodation fees) = 13,000 yen
[Stay and Energetic Campaign]
13,000 – 5,000 yen = 8,000 yen
[Yamagata City Premium Tourism Vouchers]
When the balance of 8,000 yen is paid with the premium tourism vouchers, 
you will have actually only paid 4,000 yen.

For accommodation fees of 20,000 yen, if you use the three campaigns together, you will be able to stay for​ 4,000 yen.
In addition, you will receive a coupon of 3,000 yen​ that can be used in the area of the Go To campaign.
You can use the balance of the premium tourism vouchers of 2,000 yen plus the regional coupon of 3,000 yen for​ 5,000 yen​ of souvenirs and food and drinks.

There is no reason not to use this great deal.

 

◆ Summary

What did you think?
It’s a special campaign, so you want to use it well and enjoy your trip at a great price.

From now on, Yamagata is the season to enjoy beautiful autumn leaves and delicious autumn food!
After mid-November, it will finally snow and the beautiful winter season will begin.

When it gets cold, you will miss the hot springs too.
Zao Onsen and Yamadera, which are tourist destinations in Yamagata City, will be in an increasingly beautiful season.
Please use the Yamagata City Premium Tourism Vouchers for a fun trip.
