The largest international travel exposition in Asia, JATA Tourism Expo Japan, is held from 22 to 25 September 2016 at Tokyo Big Sight Convention and Exhibition Centre in Odaiba island of Tokyo. This year, it attracts many foreign leaders including the Prime Minister of Thailand and foreign tourism authority leaders from Sudan, Zimbabwe and Europe to grace the press opening ceremony held at Belle Salle, Tokyo Nihombashi Tower.
At the press conference on 22 September, both Norio Yamaguchi, Chairman & CEO of Japan Travel & Tourism Association and Hironi Tagawa, Chairman of Japan Association of Travel Agents, welcome delegates from more than 140 countries and 47 regions in Japan participating in this year's Travel Showcase.
In the Global Tourism Forum, under the main theme consisted of "New Opportunities for Sustainable Destinations - Japan and the World", discussions were held in the fields of overseas travel, domestic travel and inbound travel to Japan as Japan faces the challenge of becoming a leading tourism country.
Key speakers in various topics covered in the Global Tourism Forum include Dr. Taleb Rifai, Secretary-General of UNWTO, Mr David Scowsill, President & CEO of WTTC.
The Travel Showcase of JATA Tourism Expo began from 23 to 25 September 2016 as the previous day is Japan's public holiday designated as the beginning of autumn but downpours persisted on 22 September. A special "Japan Night" celebration was held accordingly in the district of Nihombashi as part of the organizers' "Visit Japan" Golden Week to welcome the delegates and tourists to Tokyo.
The Travel Showcase welcomes the participation of more than 20 airline exhibitors showing their flight products, services and holiday packages. Many new airline exhibitors include Scoot, Setouchi Seaplanes, Spring Airlines Japan, Tigerair Taiwan, Cambodia Angkor Air, Sichuan Airlines, and traditional favourite exhibitors such as Jeju Air, IranAir, China Airlines, AeroMexico, LOT Polish Airlines, MIAT Mongolian Airlines and Drukair Royal Bhutan Airlines.
IranAir's Japan GSA Persia Tourism distributes the world's first GSA tourism magazine, in this case, on Iran tourism and IranAir flights from Narita.
With the exception of Drukair, most other airline exhibitors distribute their Timetables in Japanese with a few distributing aircraft transparent files. China Airlines celebrates 50 years of flights from Taiwan to Japan by distributing the airline's postcards in Japanese.
Drukair Royal Bhutan Airlines said customers until 25 September 2016 have the chance to book an online ticket on any of its routes including Bangkok and Singapore and an offer to purchase a return domestic ticket to Gelephu and Bumthang in Bhutan from 130 US Dollars at the Expo.
In the following pictorial news over the days, this web-site covers MIAT Mongolian Airlines, Finnair, Setouchi Seaplanes and Spring Airlines Japan, to name a few.
Stimulating travel through distribution of timetables and creating awareness of travel products and services are ways to bolster a country's tourism growth. There are other ways to stimulate tourism growth with preferred objectives in mind.
JATA Tourism Expo, first launched in 2014, focus on all countries and regions throughout Japan where travel demand is declining due to issues ranging from natural disasters to political and diplomatic subversion. As it attracts every trade in the travel and tourism industries as well as the public, the organizers are leveraging the strengths of this travel exposition to show everyone the current situation of these countries and regions and their efforts to tackle the issues. The purpose of the Expo is to create opportunities, spur efforts and inspire action among attendees of the Expo.
This year, the Expo allows the travel and tourism industries and members of the public to show Kumamoto Prefecture and France their support to revive tourism in these places after the Kumamoto earthquake and the Paris terrorist attacks.
The next edition of JATA Tourism Expo will be held in Tokyo Big Sight from 22 to 24 September 2017.
