The forecast of non-full-time employees in Japan's travel agency sector shows a gradual decline from 18.32 thousand in 2024 to 17.94 thousand by 2028. This represents an average year-on-year decrease of about 0.5% over this period. In comparison, these figures suggest a continued decrease in the workforce since 2023, reflecting adjustments in the industry to digitalization and potential economic fluctuations impacting travel demand.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Increased automation and digital booking platforms might reduce reliance on human agents.
Potential shifts in global travel patterns and tourist profiles as Japan continues to promote itself as a global travel destination.
Work-life balance initiatives could boost part-time and freelance roles if demand rises.
