Introduction

Party Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, led by CEO Ayumi Hakura, has initiated a partnership with Wamazing Inc., also based in Tokyo, focusing on enhancing tourism for incoming foreign visitors. This collaboration is part of the "Dōshi Fund" initiative, which aims to support passionate individuals facing challenges by creating new economic spheres centered around local tourism, cultural resources, and international exchange.

Overview of the Initiative

The collaboration embodies the Dōshi Fund's philosophy of supporting passionate aspirations obstructed by barriers. Wamazing Inc., led by CEO Fumiko Kato, operates a one-stop tourism digital transformation platform designed to reinvigorate local and Japan's economy through inbound tourism, providing services for accommodation, transportation, and activities. The initiative aims to visualize Japan's vibrant attractions, thereby contributing to local economic revitalization.

Background of the Collaboration

The partnership stems from a shared mission: to boost local tourism and cultural promotion across Japanese regions. Through this investment, both companies aim to achieve the following goals:

• - Collaborate with local governments to drive regional tourism projects.
• - Unearth and package traditional cultural resources as engaging tourist content.
• - Foster international exchanges by connecting overseas talent and travelers with local offerings.
• - Develop a joint proposal and promotion structure for administrative contracts and projects.
• - Host regional tourism and co-creation events based at the 'coen' hub.

Through these collaborative efforts, a new tourism-reinvestment economy will take shape, merging regional assets with international tourism.

Comments from the Leaders

Comment from Ayumi Hakura, CEO of Party Inc.

"At Party, our 'coen' initiative cultivates a culture of co-creation among regions, businesses, governments, and individuals, fostering collective challenges and value creation. In collaboration with Wamazing, we step into a new realm of tourism, sharing the feelings embedded in our local cultures and landscapes with travelers worldwide. This process will further enrich local communities and businesses, facilitating a cycle of co-creation that moves beyond mere tourism promotion to deep cultural connectivity. We are confident that this initiative will lead to a society where individuals can make fulfilling choices—transforming regions into bridges connecting local and global contexts."

Comment from Fumiko Kato, CEO of Wamazing Inc.

"Through our platform aimed at foreign tourists, Wamazing delivers a comprehensive array of Japanese experiences, including sightseeing spots, accommodations, and local products. The inbound tourism market is vital, contributing approximately 8.1 trillion yen to Japan's economy. Our vision is to encourage visitors to enjoy all that Japan has to offer. By partnering with Party, we aim to foster a culture of co-existence between foreign visitors and local residents, enhancing mutual cultural understanding through the peace-building aspect of tourism."
