[Free to attend] Become a lodging and tourist destination that continues to be chosen! Practical seminar on the latest trends and know-how to attract customers based on the “deciding factors for travel” of young people and visitors to Japan
About this seminar
The travel destinations chosen by young people and visitors to Japan are currently undergoing dramatic changes.
Rather than searching for something, people are heading to places suggested by AI or places they saw on social media that caught their eye . This trend is definitely spreading.
In other words, we are approaching a future where facilities that don’t look good on social media or don’t show up in AI searches will be ” as good as non-existent.”
It may be fine now, but in order to attract customers in the future, it will be essential to update the information you provide .
Therefore, in this seminar, our experienced instructors will deliver practical content on the latest trends in travel choices, photos that appeal to young people and foreigners, and how to use social media to attract customers and increase sales. Please join us so that Nasu-Shiobara will continue to be a place of choice in the future!
