JNTO Invites DMCs to Exclusive Networking Event for High-Value Tourism Development
The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) has announced the opening of applications for the first and second domestic networking events focused on high-value tourism. This initiative aims to foster business connections between local governments and DMOs/suppliers across Japan and inbound Destination Management Companies (DMCs) who specialize in curating premium travel experiences. The deadline for interested DMCs to apply is September 4th.
Published on August 22nd, 2025, at 04:31, this announcement underscores JNTO’s commitment to enhancing the quality and diversity of inbound tourism to Japan. By facilitating direct engagement between those offering exceptional Japanese travel products and services and the expert DMCs who design and sell them to international clientele, the events are designed to cultivate mutually beneficial partnerships.
The networking events will provide a crucial platform for DMCs to discover and engage with a wide array of high-quality tourism offerings available throughout Japan. Participants can expect to explore unique accommodation options, exclusive cultural experiences, bespoke itineraries, and authentic local engagements that cater to the discerning traveler seeking a more enriched and personalized journey.
For Japanese local governments and DMOs/suppliers, this is an unparalleled opportunity to showcase their region’s unique attractions and premium services to a targeted audience of influential DMCs. These DMCs possess established networks and a deep understanding of the demands of the high-value travel market, making them key partners in expanding Japan’s reach to affluent international visitors.
The networking format is specifically designed to encourage productive business-to-business (B2B) meetings, allowing for in-depth discussions and the potential to forge lasting collaborations. This strategic approach is expected to drive the development of new and innovative high-value travel packages originating from Japan.
JNTO encourages DMCs that are committed to delivering exceptional experiences and are seeking to expand their portfolio of Japanese luxury and bespoke travel products to seize this valuable opportunity. Early application is advised, as the deadline is set for September 4th. Further details regarding event dates, locations, and specific participation criteria can be found on the JNTO website.
