Accor has now launched a dedicated page to push hotels that are eligible for the Go To-campaign rebate in Japan.
Japan’s government launched in July an initiative to push domestic travel by offering up to 35% rebate (capped at 7,000 yen per person per night) until the funds reserved for this are depleted.
You can access this offer on Accor’s website here.
