Travel
Trade.

Securing distribution through travel agencies matters as much as building awareness. For regional Japan, consumer campaigns aimed at independent travellers are costly; winning bookings through the travel trade is far more effective. For local governments and DMOs with modest budgets, it is one of the most cost-efficient tactics available.

We target the segments that suit each region — luxury, adventure, sustainable travel and more — and build relationships with the agencies best placed to sell it.

Public
Relations.

Media coverage is often the moment a traveller first discovers a place. By building lasting relationships with the media that shape travel decisions in each key market, we steadily increase the chances of a destination being featured.

Earning attention without relying on paid advertising is the essence of PR — a fundamental and proven approach used by national tourism organisations and DMOs worldwide.
