Changes in the number of hotels in Kyoto

Today, we would like to explain the changes in the number of permits for Ryokan/Hotel industries and Private Lodging(AirBnb) in Kyoto, which we accidentally investigated.
Currently, there are no foreign tourists due to the COVID-19.  The number of foreign tourists visiting Japan in April, which had been announced by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), decreased by 99.9% compared to the same month last year, and the total number of foreign guests staying in Kyoto in April decreased by 99.7% compared to last year. Even if it includes domestic customers, it is a 95.7% decrease, which is a difficult situation. 
It became a popular travel city until last year, and many hotels were constructed or converted in parallel. We will share information together to understand the current state of such buildings.
First of all, the ryokan business method is divided into  the hotel business, the ryokan business, the budget hotel business, and the lodging business. Please check with the following criteria.

●the hotel/ryokan business Business that establishes facilities and receives people for accommodation, other than the budget hotel and the lodging. ●the budget hotel business It is a business other than the lodging business, and is a business that mainly accommodates people with lodging charges, with facilities mainly composed of structures and facilities to share the lodgings ●the lodging business Business that establishes facilities and receives people for a period of 1 month or more to accommodate people

In addition, the following is the data on the status of correspondence with the registration reception desk of the private lodging business.

On the other hand, there was data on the number of consultations for reporting/opening the private lodgings.
