What is the reason for launching Blossom Japan?
Japan as a
destination is a fascinating place. The offer for luxury travellers is one of the very best in the world and the various experiences from North to South make it a place not to miss on your travel radar. However, the problem is that it is not well known internationally. There is a need to create 'Brand Japan' and position the destination so that it attracts the right
travellers. Japan is a well sought after market for all the luxury travel brands, it represents between 20 and 30% of their revenue and currently there is no platform that offers key players in the industry the right access to the country. The travel industry is seeing new developments in Japan, with the emerging of boutique agencies, concierge services and lifestyle & travel advisors. This change has led to a new dynamic in FIT luxury travel and Blossom Japan has been launched to support this
new trend by creating the ideal platform for key buyers in the industry to meet with the best luxury suppliers in the world.
What is the benefit for buyers and sellers to attend Blossom Japan?
Blossom Japan is the closest you will get to the prefect trade event. The aim is to offer sellers and buyers an environment in which every single detail has been planned in
advance to give them the best return on their investment. No time is wasted and because of the vigorous selection process, no time - wasters are allowed to attend. The event is run as a private club, by invitation only and only senior decision makers will be allowed to participate. Our pre-scheduled appointment system offers all participants the opportunity to chose who they want to meet prior to the event, so that during the event real business can be discussed
instead of mere introductions.
How will Blossom Japan influence the Inbound and Outbound Japanese market?
By creating a platform for all the key
luxury brands to meet, Blossom Japan provides a new dynamism for the whole luxury travel industry internationally and in Japan.

Why did you decide to organise
this event in Japan when the current luxury market in Japan and the economy are on a downturn?
Luxury travel is a US$150 billion industry and is one of the most resilient in the world. High-end travellers represent only 2% of the travellers worldwide but are responsible for over 20% of its revenue. This represents an opportunity for Japan as a destination. With the right positioning the economy could benefit tremendously by a new influx of luxury travellers. Japanese travellers are one of the most experienced in the world and are seeking more and more new destinations and experiences. Despite the economical downturn, luxury travel has not slowed down but has shifted. The consumer is now found to be more demanding and challenging towards Their travel agencies and advisors to find these new destinations and experiences. Blossom Japan is the answer to this new change.
What makes you believe in the Japanese market?
The Japanese spirit and search for perfection is a key element here. We would challenge anyone in the world to match the incredible service level and attention to detail you find all over Japan. As a travel specialist, we believe that Japan has only one key issue to solve and that is, its brand positioning. Japan should aim to be the exceptional luxury travel destination in the world. By positioning 'Brand Japan' in this way, the country would become a key player inthe international market and take on a leading role in the Asia pacific region. The benefits will be incredible for the economy. Japan does not need to invent itself but find a right strategy to sell the destination and speak to the right audience.
