In September, foreign visitors to Kyushu reached 271,814, recovering to about 95% of pre-pandemic levels in 2018. The steady resumption of international flights contributed to this recovery. By the end of October, weekly international flights to Kyushu had returned to nearly 90% of 2018 levels, even surpassing 2019 figures. An increase in visitors from Europe, the US, and Australia in July was noted, likely boosted by the World Aquatics Championships held in Fukuoka City.
