This agreement serves as a foundation for mutual collaboration, focusing on leveraging Onna Village's tourism resources to increase the area's inhabitant relationships and share essential information to identify and utilize community needs effectively.
The primary goal of this partnership is to strengthen collaboration between the two parties to tackle societal challenges through enhanced tourism and regional revitalization efforts, ultimately benefiting the well-being of local residents.
KNT-CT Holdings and Onna Village will work together on several key areas to achieve their objectives, including:

A signing ceremony was held in Onna Village, featuring remarks from both KNT-CT Holdings President Yoshinobu Koyama and the village mayor, Yoshimi Nagahama.
"Blessed with a rich natural environment and beautiful seas, Onna Village stands as a world-renowned resort destination, attracting many tourists. The tourism landscape has evolved significantly, with varying needs from visitors. It has become crucial to harness local resources to create innovative tourism experiences and invigorate the local economy. Through this agreement, I hope that the tourism expertise and networks from KNT-CT can capitalize on our abundant regional resources, enhancing not just tourist activities but also driving regional industry, expanding visitor interactions, and elevating our community’s appeal. Our goal is to create a destination that leaves visitors feeling they have had a great experience and encourages them to return. Moreover, we aim for the development of tourism to invigorate and enrich the lives of our residents, working towards sustainable community development."
"This agreement marks a pivotal moment for our group, allowing us to collaborate across various fields, particularly in tourism, to contribute to the further development of Onna Village. We plan to leverage our networks aimed at attracting tourists from over 30 countries by 2030 to actively promote travel to Okinawa and specifically Onna Village. We also see tourism not as isolated 'points' but as a connected 'area' encompassing local industries such as primary production. This perspective will drive initiatives that capitalize on the diverse resources and attractions of the region. Our strength lies in integrating lodging, transportation, and local attractions and industries into a comprehensive tourism experience. Together with the local community, we will work diligently towards sustainable regional growth.
