Yes that is right, according to World Bulletin, Japan has lifted visa requirements for a number of ASEAN countries to help spur the nation's tourism industry and to develop the relationships with Southeast Asian countries. 

Japan, Travel Japan, ASIA, Travel ASIA, Travel, ASEAN countries, No VISA Japan, Cherry Blossom, Tokyo, Osaka, Mt. Fuji, Top Destinations, Travel News


According to Foreign Ministry’s pronouncement, visa exemption will be effective for Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Viet Nam after July, 1. Ministry underlined the decision is adopted to celebrate “40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation.” Visa exemption is valid for short time visit no longer than 15 days. Japan cautioned those travelers who want to stay longer must still need a visa.

The territorial dispute between Tokyo and Beijing lowered the Chinese travelers. Japan’s move to nationalize disputed islands at the East China Sea drew a harsh critic from Chinese’s officials and triggered a boycott from Chinese’s consumers and tourists. With no end in sight to the dispute, the Japanese government turned its eye to lucrative Southeast Asian market. Tokyo wants to attract 1 million Southeast Asian tourists this year, and 2 million in 2016. The number was 780,000 last year.

On the political side, the Japanese governments want to have a closer relationship with ASEAN countries. Nationalist leader Shinzo Abe who visited Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia after becoming prime minister is expected to tour Malaysia and the Philippines. During his visit, Japanese Prime Minister will try to develop relations with Southeast Asian countries to obstruct Beijing’s regional ambition, reports say. Malaysia and the Philippines have a territorial dispute with Beijing likewise Japan. Japanese PM Abe is due to host a special meeting of ASEAN leaders in Tokyo in December.

UPDATE!

This is not applicable to Philippines according to Rappler news and we quote:

"MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - Starting July 1, Filipinos can apply for multiple-entry visas for short-term trips to Japan, part of the East Asian country's relaxed visa rules for select Southeast Asian countries.

"The Government of Japan has decided to begin issuance from July 1, of multiple entry visas for short-term stay to nationals of the Republic of the Philippines (ordinary passport holders) who reside in their home country," the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said in a news release Tuesday, June 25.

The MOFA release said applicants will have to meet "certain conditions." They will also be required to have machine-readable passports that meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), or an ordinary IC passport.

The multiple-entry visas will allow Filipinos to stay in Japan for a period of 15 days, and the visas will be valid for up to 3 years.

"The further development of Japan-Philippines exchange is expected as a result of the issuance of multiple entry visas, including increase in the number of tourists from the Philippines who visit Japan and the enhancement of the ease of business transactions between the two countries," the MOFA said.

"Japan will continue to accept and deliver Visa applications for Japan through accredited agencies," the Japanese Embassy in Manila said in a news release Thursday, June 27.

The Embassy release also refuted a story circulating on social media that said the Japan visa has been waived."

Dubai has recently become one of the hottest tourist destinations thanks to the huge sums of money developers put into the city.  Considered by many to be the most progressive vision and the quintessential city of the future, the desert makes an odd—yet intriguing—backdrop for such a place to spring up.

So, if you're planning a visit to Dubai, be sure to check out these six tourist destinations that you can't afford to miss—no trip to Dubai would be complete without them!

Dubai, Guest Post, Travel, Travel Guide, Travel Tips,


1. The New Atlantis 

Right on the waterfront of Dubai, you can rediscover the lost island of Atlantis—at least the new versions of it.  The Atlantis Resort is right on the Gulf, providing a family-friendly place to get away on one of the three man-made islands.  Take the three-mile trip to the main land on a monorail, enjoying the breathtaking sights of the city, the islands, the desert and the water all at once.

When you're on the island of Atlantis, be sure to check out the extraordinary water park, Aquaventure.  Featuring an almost vertical drop of 90 feet that takes you right through a shark-infested lagoon—in a safety tunnel of course—the Leap of Faith is just one of the many attractions at this park that is four times the size of Wembley Stadium.  For the less adventurous, swim with dolphins in a complex of seven interconnected pools or shop in the huge mall and watch over 70,000 marine creatures swim about the sunken streets through ceiling-to-floor glass walls.

You can also shop at high-end boutiques, stroll along the pristine beaches,  or indulge in one of the dozens of bars, restaurants, lounges, nightclubs or spas.

2. Riding the Metro Trains

Dubai had one of the worst traffic problems in the world, with gridlocks spanning the entire city.  This was mainly due to such large economic progress coupled with the low prices of oil.  To fix this problem, the city created what is now the world's largest driverless train system.

The automated trains of Dubai have three different classes: luxury, standard and women and children (Dubai is still a fairly strict religious city despite its modernization).  Choose the luxury if you really want to sight-see in style.

For sightseeing, the Red Line spans 25 miles and connects tourist areas together as well as parts of the old, historic city and the new, modern city.  See and visit sites such as Jumeirah, the Mall of the Emirates, the Dubai Mall, Deira and the airport.

3. Shop until You Drop

Speaking of malls, Dubai has some of the world's largest shopping centers.  The Mall of the Emirates is a sight to behold in and of itself—it has indoor ski slopes that are covered with snow!  While the Mall of the Emirates used to

If you're looking for airport parking in London, whether it's for Gatwick parking North Terminal or at another location such as Heathrow, your best bet is to get online and search for parking operators to find the best combination of availability and price.

Believe it or not, one of the best places to start is through a tour operator like Thomas Cook. When you book through their 'Extras' range, they promise a high level of security at the parking facility with such features as security patrols, entry and exit barriers and floodlighting. On top of that, they offer a price promise with the best airport parking prices, along with a waiver on amendment fees (up to 24 hours prior to arrival) and no credit card fees.

Find out more about their airport parking services, here - http://www.thomascook.com/holiday-extras/airport-parking/gatwick-north/

Another way to search for airport parking services is to use a search engine to find local parking agents. For instance, type 'Gatwick parking North Terminal' into a search engine and scour the list of reputable parking agents to find the

While many skiers will choose a winter break focussed predominantly around the piste facilities, others will also factor in the après ski opportunities that are part of their chosen resort. For many, the après ski facilities are almost as important as the skiing itself, giving them a perfect environment to relax after a day on the slopes, socialising, making friends and enjoying the atmosphere.

The après ski scene depends largely on the resort you choose, with some offering a relative tranquillity compared with others that pride themselves on their lively resort. As far as a Soldeu ski holiday is concerned, you have the best of both worlds.

Après ski is probably the most popular in the Alps, where the bars at the bottom of the slopes are jam packed with skiers stopping for a beverage after their stint on the slopes while still donning their salopettes and boots.  Although predominantly an Alpine thing, it’s not unheard of elsewhere and Andorra has built quite the reputation for its après

When my fiancé and I were looking for options on where we would go for our honeymoon, we finally settled on New York. Neither of us had ever been there and we thought it would be exciting. We found out that 'The city that never sleeps' is regarded as one of the most romantic destinations in the world and this is what sealed the decision for us. After our small wedding, we flew to New York for ten days of honeymoon bliss.

We went straight to our hotel to freshen up. We found a great site and booked our New York hotel in advance. We had a spring wedding and we knew that New York as we knew that the spring and summer season would prove hard to get a good hotel room. We had planned to do as much as possible and see as much as we could especially since we heard that New York never ever sleeps. However, we were pleasantly surprised that our hotel room was quite quiet and we were able to get the rest we needed.

The first day we went to the Empire State building at night and that is a sight to behold. My husband is scared of heights but he did not even notice how high we went as we got to the 86th floor. There is an observatory with an outdoor deck where you can see the beautiful New York night skyline. The breathtaking view was further enhanced

Looking for a sizzling summer holiday deal? Everyone loves to save a bit of money when it comes to holidays, and thanks to high competition among today's tour operators - from early bird deals to last-minute special offers - there are more than a few cracking discounts out there.

Holiday, Holiday Deals, Travel, Thomas Cook Deals

Late deals continue to be one of the most popular ways to save money, and tour operators are constantly advertising special offers on departures within the next few weeks. To bag the cheapest prices you should be prepared to vary your search criteria - for instance, try to be flexible on your departure dates, choice of local resort, destination and your style of hotel. Consider dropping down a star rating, or try bed and breakfast as opposed to half or full board.

On the subject of board, all inclusive can be a great way to save money. You might pay a little more at the booking stage, but if you're generally happy to eat in the hotel restaurant during the day then you'll usually save a small fortune once you've in resort. With all inclusive all meals, snacks and drinks are usually included in the price, so it
