JALPAK Launches Activities JALPAK Platform for Foreign Tourists in Japan
In a bold move to cater to the increasing number of foreign travelers, JALPAK has officially launched its new platform, Activities JALPAK. This innovative initiative aims to promote experiential content for tourists visiting Japan, leveraging the extensive global network of the JAL Group to showcase Japan's diverse attractions in all its regions. The objective is not only to draw more visitors to local areas but also to contribute to their revitalization and sustainable development, emphasizing the organization's commitment to enhancing the inbound tourism market.
Recent years have witnessed a significant rise in inbound tourism, yet Japan faces the pressing issue of over-tourism in popular areas. Recognizing the growing trend of repeat international visitors who tend to spend more in local destinations, the Japanese government has prioritized attracting these travelers. However, many regions in Japan brim with incredible tourism resources that are not well-publicized, leading to a disparity between potential attractions and their visibility to tourists. Furthermore, small-scale but high-quality experiences often struggle to compete against the pricing wars and algorithms of large Online Travel Agencies (OTAs).
JALPAK sees it as their mission to guide travelers to Japan's rich local cultures while fostering sustainable development within these communities. The Activities JALPAK platform serves as a new channel to deliver high-quality, regionally-rooted products to the international market. By utilizing JAL Group's various touchpoints, such as their in-flight magazines and global networks, the company plans to create new sales opportunities for businesses whose content previously found it difficult to reach audiences through conventional channels.
As part of Activities JALPAK, the platform offers a range of unique experiences, appealing to the diverse interests of international visitors. Examples of available activities include: tours of JAL's maintenance facilities, diving with hammerhead sharks, observing morning sumo practices, participating in traditional tea ceremonies and kimono fittings within historical machiya houses, and hands-on experiences in traditional crafts led by artisans. This variety of offerings will soon expand to include packages that combine accommodation and transport, with plans for collaborative tourism initiatives with local governments.
To achieve the platform's vision, JALPAK encourages partnerships with organizations that share a commitment to creating new inbound values. They are open to collaborations with regional content and experience providers, which may include municipalities, Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), activity providers, and cultural or craft businesses. These partners should possess unique attractions and a willingness to work together with JALPAK in delivering exceptional experiences to inbound tourists.
Moreover, JALPAK is also looking to collaborate with promotional and marketing companies, such as media outlets targeting international visitors, accommodation businesses, and tourist information centers. Companies that already have contact with inbound travelers and can establish performance-based partnerships are particularly desirable.
For those interested in exploring partnership opportunities or to inquire about collaborative projects, JALPAK's inbound travel division is available for consultation. Interested parties can reach out via email at [email protected], where inquiries will be reviewed, and a representative will follow up accordingly.
By focusing on bridging the gap between local attractions and international travelers, JALPAK hopes to enhance tourism's contribution to regional development in Japan while providing enriching experiences for visitors. The Activities JALPAK platform stands to change how international tourists engage with Japan's rich cultural heritage, helping rebuild the connections between visitors and the local areas they explore.
