Since the Japanese government “bought” the Diaoyu Islands, the tension （紧张）between China and Japan about the islands has gone up. Several major Shanghai travel agencies have decided to stop organizing tours to Japan and advised Japan-bound (前往日本的) tourists to make other plans, becauese of the Diaoyu Islands issue(争端).
The Shanghai China CYTS Outbound Travel Service Co. Ltd. (上海中青旅出境旅游服务有限公司）stopped the tour to Japan and will gradually stop receiving tourist bookings(预订) to Japan after the National Day holiday, according to Liu Xin, the company’s manager.
The Shanghai branch of the China Travel International Ltd. (中国国际旅行社有限公司上海分部) also said it was advising people who wanted to visit Japan to change their plans.
In fact, tourists had already begun to ask for cancellation(取消) of their tours to Japan because they were worried about their safety.
Last year, more than 100,000 tourists from Shanghai went to Japan on organized tours. That made Japan the second most popular tour place for travelers from the city, only after Thailand.
