Major leading international travel fair in Japan
Tourism Expo Japan 2024 was organized by Japan Travel and Tourism Association, Japan Association of Travel Agents and Japan National Tourism Organization as the most all-encompassing international travel fair held annually in Japan. Last year, Tourism Expo Japan 2023 engaged over 1,000 enterprises and organizations as exhibitors from 70 countries and regions and admitted more than 140,000 visitors.
Great marketing efforts in Japan
Japan currently ranks among the top ten visitor markets for Macao. Daily flight services are operated between Macao and the two Japanese cities, Tokyo and Osaka, enabling close connectivity and frequent visitations. In July 2023, MGTO partnered with Air Macau to arrange a familiarization visit to Macao for members of the travel trade from Tokyo and Osaka, followed by the Office's participation in Tourism Expo Japan 2023 in October. This March, the Office organized a mega roadshow and a tourism + MICE product updates seminar in Tokyo. Its engagement in Tourism Expo Japan 2024 this year will further enhance Macao's profile and facilitate exchange and cooperation among industry participants, to tap the Japanese and international markets continuously.
