The Japanese Outbound Travel Market

Japanese consumers believe in brand trust, reputation, quality, and value. The Japanese are highly motivated to travel overseas because of their natural interest and curiosity in other cultures, as well as the maturing of the population, which gives them the time in their current life stage to do so.  Japan is a relatively small (by geographic standards) island nation, which necessitates outbound travel when true exploratory experiences are desired.

Please contact us for more information on the Japan market including consumer behavior and travel intentions, media consumption and the latest inbound and outbound travel news.
