Group 2: Economic Implications - If the number of Chinese tourists to Japan drops to zero and remains at that level, Japan's tourism revenue could decrease by nearly 200 billion yen (approximately 9.19 billion RMB) per month [1]. - The chief currency strategist at Nomura Securities indicated that a sustained drop in Chinese tourists could lead to a weakening of the yen [1].
