Japan Tourism Restrictions, Guided Package Tours, COVID-19 Reopening
Japan announced it will reopen to tourists from select countries, including the United States, starting June 10th. However, visitors are not permitted to roam freely and must sign up for strictly monitored guided package tours that include pre-arranged transportation and accommodation.
Italian tour guides have transitioned from using umbrellas to using selfie sticks with markers to lead groups, utilizing VHF wireless transmitter systems for audio. The technical execution of these systems is criticized, specifically regarding tour guides over-modulating their lavalier microphones by holding them too close to their mouths. The segment includes a critique of the cheap, disposable mono earpieces provided to tourists.
