Reelu Launches 'Inbound Frontline' Podcast

Reelu, a Tokyo-based company, has announced the launch of its latest audio program, 'Inbound Frontline - Strategies and Realities of Inbound Business in Japan.' The podcast aims to delve into the inbound tourism sector by bringing in various guests from the industry. Each episode is crafted to share insights, implement strategies, and discuss the lessons learned from real-world experiences. With Japan's inbound tourism sector continuing to grow at a rapid pace, the need for sharing knowledge and best practices has never been more crucial.

Background Behind the Podcast

According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of foreign visitors to Japan is forecasted to reach 42.68 million in 2025, surpassing previous records. The government's figures reveal that the expected consumption per foreign tourist is projected to rise to an astonishing 9.45 trillion yen, representing a 16.4% increase year-on-year. This growth has highlighted the importance of sharing strategies, execution processes, and insights from various sectors related to inbound tourism.

In response to this demand, Reelu has initiated the 'Inbound Frontline' podcast, where industry leaders share their experiences, efforts, and the challenges they face while operating in this dynamic environment. The goal is to provide listeners with concrete examples and valuable takeaways from each discussion.
