According to this article, Japanese Budget Airlines are going to accept bitcoins this year. They declared that later this year we can now enjoy flights without bringing our wallets but our bitcoins in our smartphones. As part also of their new innovation they have installed BTMs or Bitcoin ATM on the airport for the convenience of their customers. With this we can expect an increase in tourist visits to Japan.

Well its a good news for peole who have Bitcoin to bring in Japan that also don't want to convert anymore money to Yen. But it made me raise a doubt on one of your statement in which you say that by accepting Bitcoin it will increase the tourism of the place? So you are basically saying that if they accepted Bitcoin, then instantly tourist will now start going to visit Japan. I disagree with you about that because a tourist does not go to a place because of the money but because of the place they will visit.
