函館経済に不安

The rapid spread of a new type of coronavirus in Hokkaido has had an impact on tourist facilities in Hakodate, with group bookings being cancelled.

The spread of the disease, which had been on a recovery track in the number of visitors to the city, is causing a sense of urgency and anxiety among those involved.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of infected people, the city has raised the alert stage to 3.

Six schools that were scheduled to visit Goryokaku Tower as part of their school excursions have been notified of the cancellation.

The spread of the infection was the reason for all of them, and four reservations for general group visitors were also cancelled, according to the report.

Hakodate ropeway, which has been attracting passengers since July, will also be closely monitored.

Economic activity may come to a halt again.

It seems unlikely that this concern can be dispelled just yet.
