Our main goal: to turn German tour operators into real Japan experts through engaging E-learnings and online events, and at the same time arouse end consumers' interest in the Far Eastern destination Japan through classic PR activations.

Tailor-made content is the key to success now, specific products will play an important role in the second half of the year. We are convinced that, as soon as the country is accessible again, we will see a strong increase in bookings to Japan.
People are longing for long-distance travel after the long period of travel restrictions. Trend reports speak of a strong growth in the segment of long-distance travel or so-called once-in-a-lifetime trips for the year 2022. In a study by expedia, the online travel agency, forecasts even predict the GOAT Year 2022. The abbreviation GOAT stands for "greatest of all trips". In its survey of 12,000 travellers in 12 countries, expedia found that 65 % of respondents were planning "something big" on their next trip. As a result, it called the desire for exciting and extravagant travel the "biggest travel trend" of the year 2022.
