Japan promotes destination at Kuwait's Tourista Expo 2024

The Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) together with Embassy of Japan hosted a booth at Kuwait's Tourista Expo 2024, held at Assima Mall from 21 to 22 June 2024."It was our utmost pleasure to meet many enthusiastic people who are interested in visiting Japan. The number of Kuwaiti nationals visiting Japan in 2023 increased by 44.0% compared to 2019 before the pandemic, reaffirming Japan's appeal as a sought-after destination among Kuwaitis."The resumption and increase of direct flights from the GCC region to Japan have played a pivotal role in facilitating this growth. Notable examples include the launch of Doha-Tokyo Haneda direct daily flights by Japan Airlines in March 2024."

According to Daisuke, the number of visitors to Japan from GCC countries rapidly recovered in 2023, and it continued to grow at an even stronger rate in the first quarter of 2024, increasing by 15.1% compared to the same period last year.
