Weird’s Deal of the Day: Japan Proposes Offering 10,000 Free Round-Trip Tickets To Boost Tourism

Time to get out of that rut, people! In order to boost flagging tourism after the nuclear disaster, earthquakes and tsunami, the Japan Tourism Agency has proposed a bold plan. They're going to give away 10,000 free round-trip tickets.

Good Morning America says that the catch is that would-be travelers will need to submit a detailed travel plan, and, more importantly, write a review of their time in Japan and post in online. That's aimed directly at boosting word of mouth and maximizing the benefit of the ticket giveaway.

"We are hoping to get highly influential blogger-types, and others who can spread the word that Japan is a safe place to visit," Kazuyoshi Sato, an agency spokesperson, told Good Morning America.
