Currently Saudi Arabia and Japan are boosting their bilateral ties through several exhibitions as they are close to their 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations, Arab News reported.
The Japan National Tourism Office (JNTO) aims to attract Saudi travelers with stunning exhibitions, according to the organization’s Dubai Executive Director Daisuke Kobayashi.
“Through these collaborations, we aim to deliver more comprehensive and engaging information to Saudi travelers, encouraging them to discover the unique experiences Japan has to offer,” Kobayashi stated.
The Executive Director also noted that JNTO seeks to maintain “strong partnerships” with local travel agencies and related organizations.
Moreover, he indicated that there no plans to launch a JNTO office in the Kingdom. However, Kobayashi stressed that the organization will not stop its exhibitions and activities in Saudi Arabia.
The JNTO launched its first event in Riyadh in December 2024, under the theme of “Feel Your Four Seasons.” Through various activities, the exhibition represented a valuable opportunity to get an introduction to Japan’s diverse seasonal attractions, such as luxury travel experiences. Accordingly, JNTO witnessed a “significant increase in Saudi travelers’ interest in visiting Japan.”
“During the event, we noted a strong desire among attendees to travel to Japan, particularly in the spring to experience cherry blossoms. We also noticed growing curiosity about Japan’s summer and winter offerings. Visitors showed interest in natural landscapes, summer festivals, and winter activities such as enjoying snow-covered scenery,” Kobayashi added.
