Since the beginning of 2020, media has been consumed by reports of COVID-19 spreading throughout the world. The seriousness of this global event cannot be understated; however, we would also like to share stories of “Japan Now” beyond the news of the outbreak, through the perspective of those who have an intimate connection with Japan — the people of the tourism industry.
Although the current situation has limited our travel, we welcome visitors to enjoy traditional culture and sightseeing around Japan in the future. To convey the whole of Japan, WAttention will carry out a project to deliver multilingual messages to the world free of charge for local governments and tourist businesses targeting inbound travel.
Even from home, fans can experience Japan’s warmth and hospitality by hearing the heartfelt messages from their favorite attractions and businesses around the country. When the time is right, Japan will eagerly welcome visitors once again. In the meantime, we hope many will join “Japan Now from every region” in delivering the charm and appeal of Japan to people around the world.
