COVID-19: Local Guide Protocols of Inside Travel Group (ITG)
While Inside Travel Group (ITG) continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and advise our clients on how to travel in Japan safely, we are committed to taking care of our freelance partners, too. We are implementing the following measures to ensure your health and safety, and that of our clients.
Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind is that if we – and the Japanese government – do not think travel is safe, we would not be welcoming clients to Japan or operating tours. We will never reduce the risk threshold to zero, but we can take precautions to minimize such risk.
The following advice and information is based on the UK’s Public Health England (PHE) and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as of July 27, 2020. This is subject to change based on guidance from these resources. These guidelines will be reviewed and updated every 3-weeks, as the situation and advisories surrounding COVID-19 best practices continue to change.
