About Tourism EXPO Japan

About tourism expo japan 2024.

Tourism EXPO Japan(TEJ) was launched in 2014 as a comprehensive travel event. One of the world's largest annual travel festivals brings together countries and regions from around the world and destinations from all over Japan.

Tourism EXPO Japan 2024 will take place at Tokyo Big Sight in September this year, and the main theme of the event is "Travel, An Encounter With New Value Awaits”. Travel brings new encounters to everyone. Why not experience such encounters? In addition, as last year, a special area will be set up for the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan to convey the charm of the event.

Let’s enjoy together the latest information from around the world, dances, culture, and performances that can only be seen in the destinations, as well as the latest contents from around Japan that you have yet to experience, gourmet foods unique to the area, and other exciting and unlimited experiences.

Look forward to new encounters at the TEJ2024!

In the last couple of years, the increase of foreign visitors to Japan has been far beyond expectation. One of the targets like 20 million visitors in 2020, the year of the second Tokyo Olympic games, was almost achieved in as early as 2015. Thus, the tourism draws unprecedented attention as the next leading industry. Notwithstanding, there is room for improvement, for example; Japan has not yet addressed the maximum potential of attracting visitors in terms of world standards; the infrastructure and mindset of entertaining foreign visitors are far from adequate. Not only inbound trips but also outbound and domestic tours of by Japanese people should be encouraged and promoted. This program will invite individuals from the top levels of management in the tourism industry or academic institutions with the aim of providing lectures that will help students to understand the tourism industry from both the theoretical and practical perspectives and to be leaders who implement the changes in the tourism industry.

New JAL chief concerned about yen’s ‘excessive’ weakness

Mitsuko Tottori became Japan Airlines’ first female CEO on April 1, having risen through the ranks as a flight attendant and heading the flight attendant and customer experience divisions.

The continual decline of the yen against the U.S. dollar in recent weeks has been “excessive,” sparking concerns that it is discouraging outbound travel from Japan, especially among younger Japanese travelers, Japan Airlines' new chief executive said.

The yen dropped past the closely watched ¥155 level against the dollar on Thursday to a new 34-year low, fueling speculation that the government might intervene soon.

Because a lot of expenses for the airline are in foreign currencies, "we often discuss (with other companies) that (a dollar exchange rate of) around ¥130 level would be good.”

She also pointed out that while the yen’s fall is helping spur inbound tourism, it is curbing demand for overseas travel for people in Japan. The ratio of inbound and outbound travel demand is about 6-to-4, she said.

“I personally think this is a major issue considering the future of Japan. Young people need to have various experiences (by traveling abroad) but they are not leaving Japan,” Tottori said.

JAL hopes to offer measures that will encourage more people to travel overseas but it will still need to raise ticket prices mainly for international flights to reflect rising costs, including currency swings, she said.

Tottori said that the ratio of inbound and outbound travel demand is about 6-to-4 at the moment.

“However, I think it is important to improve the quality of service” when increasing ticket prices, she said.

As JAL chief, Tottori plans to strengthen some measures to cope with Japans declining population.

“Although the number of passengers on domestic flights is returning (to pre-pandemic levels), it is not likely to increase any further, to be honest,” she said. “We are thinking of downsizing our fleet a bit to maintain our domestic network.”

To stimulate domestic travel demand, JAL will boost efforts to help residents in major cities to connect with people in rural areas in hopes that it will motivate them to visit those areas, Tottori said. For instance, JAL has introduced programs where people can stay in towns in Iwate, Akita and Kagoshima prefectures for two weeks to experience farming and discuss how to deal with local issues.

Tottori also stressed that JAL will stick to its plan of purchasing jets from Boeing, which has been facing increased scrutiny following a January incident in which a fuselage panel blew off mid-flight.

JAL announced last month that it plans to order 42 new Boeing and Airbus jets with the aim of strengthening its international network.

"We have a long business relationship and a trusting relationship,” she said. “We believe Boeing will be able to overcome the troubles.”

Having started her career in 1985 at Japan Air System, which merged with JAL in 2004, Tottori climbed to the top of the airline after serving as a flight attendant and heading the flight attendants and customer experience divisions.

Given that she has spent a long time in the field, she listed among her strengths as a business leader her understanding of what it is like to be on the ground and her risk and resource management skills.

But she admits that she lacks experience in running a major business.

“This is actually my first experience in business management ... but there are people around me with experience in this area, and I would like to work closely with them,” Tottori said.
