Now accepting applications for the 4th Japan Tourism Awards

The Japan Tourism Awards are awarded to companies or organizations who have made exemplary contributions to the travel and tourism industry through their projects or efforts. Winners will be commended at the opening ceremony at Tourism EXPO Japan 2018 to be held from September 20-23, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan.

As the exchange of people both at home and abroad expands daily, sightseeing realizes the creation of employment opportunities, revitalization of the social economy, and deepening of mutual understanding, not only as Japan but as a global growth strategy. The development of tourism involves a wide range of industries and organizations including travel not only for industry, transportation, and accommodation, but also for municipalities, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, the manufacturing industry, service industry, and IT industry, etc. The expansion of the base is striking.

The Japan Tourism Awards contribute to the development and expansion of tourism, the synergy effect with “Tourism EXPO Japan,” and recognizes sustainable and excellent efforts of domestic and overseas groups, organizations, and companies.
