Japanspecialist tour operator ‘overwhelmed by strong demand’
Japanspecialist, the tour operator brand of JTB Corporation says it is ‘overwhelmed by strong demand’ as Japan gradually relaxes its border policy for tourists.
Japanspecialist’s seven shops are now already experiencing a strong return in bookings.
It offers tailor-made tours, guided tours, self-drive tours, excursions, seat-in-coach and luxury travel.
Japanspecialist is now also offering customers an online Japan trip consultation service that costs €25 which is reimbursable when the customer books.
It sells both directly to consumers and also B2B covering the UK, Hungarian, Benelux, Italian, French, Spanish and Danish markets.
Karolina Simon, Head of Japanspecialist said: “Despite many destinations opening up to inbound tourism last year, Japan has been one of the last and this has been an incredibly hard period for us – as well as for those travellers whose trips have been continually delayed and rebooked.”
“Nonetheless we have used this time wisely, getting ready for the moment the borders open and building a stronger-than-ever portfolio.”
“Japan has always been a popular destination but we been overwhelmed by strong demand. Nearly three years of closure is providing an extra impetus.”
