Importance of Promoting Foreign Employment in the Hospitality Sector

The hospitality industry in Japan faces a growing challenge due to an aging workforce and a potential labor shortage. In response, the Japan Tourism Agency has started promoting foreign worker employment through the “Specified Skilled Worker” visa program since the 2019 fiscal year. This event is critical in addressing this issue, as it aims to enhance awareness of the hospitality industry's appeal and promote the acceptance of foreign talent. Through various PR activities, the program intends to secure a sustainable workforce for the future.
