My litmus test is a friends’ Japanese language surf school that’s completely booked. When they start having openings I’ll be a little more concerned about the Japanese market.
I didn't say less often, I said more efficiently, SWA is proving it works. If it makes sense on a spreadsheet AS will do it.
A red herring argument would be citing a circumstantial local surf school as evidence for Japanese Tourist numbers. the $/Yen chart is data.
