Despite tough competition, Tokyo won to host the Global Travel and Tourism Summit for the coming year 2012. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) announced Tokyo’s victory last week out of the three candidate cities.
Very recently, there has an increase in air routes and flights to Japan. The destination is also serviced by Britain’s flagship carrier, British Airways that offers direct flights to Tokyo at nominal rates and all classes including Business, Premium and economy. Today, Tokyo’s new version as a dynamic and cultural destination jam packed with luxuries and attractions of a 21st century cosmopolitan are duly accepted and recognized. It is, for the reason that Tokyo has been selected to host the Travel and Tourism’s biggest summit in Asia.
Tokyo’s success has a large share by the convincing and compelling presentation that combined industry commitment, government support and enthusiasm from its agencies, dedication to a carbon neutral Summit and high standards of efficiency and capability. There are other contributors to this selection as well such as the overall and easy accessibility of the destination, accelerating GDP growth, re-emerging Japanese tourism market and a constant development graph. Altogether, it all points in the direction that Global Travel and Tourism Summit 2012 will be a must-attend event of the year.
Yet another attraction for travelers and participants in the summit is that, the 100 year anniversary of Japan Tourism Board is falling in that same year. For the reason, there will be a lot more to do and see than usual and huge celebrations, gals, dinners and parties will be in place. At this occasion, Jean-Claude Baumgarten, President & CEO for WTTC stated:
“I’m very pleased that Tokyo will host our 2012 Summit. It is a city that enjoys more than 400 years of history and is also one of the most exciting modern and cultural destinations in the world.” He further stated that “Asia remains at the forefront of Travel & Tourism growth in the next few years. Our Summit’s return to the region will give delegates the opportunity to address the issues and explore opportunities to secure the industry’s success.”
Whereas the 11th WTTC 11th Global Travel & Tourism Summit will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada USA in May 2011.
