Each company introduces solutions and advanced technologies that can contribute to regional revitalization. Such as Excursion apps that use facial recognition payment and AR (augmented reality), SNS services that incorporate location information that can provide information through the reviews, Vaccine Passport apps, hotel room service and porter services using self-driving robots, Self-driving cars for travelers, digital sightseeing maps linked to SNS posts, and more, there was a truly diverse range of content. It seems that the benefits of participating in the event were great, such as being able to have contact with people involved in the industry, and being able to hear directly about the client's needs, which was a great reference for the next initiative.

We decided to exhibit at this event as a great opportunity to do real promotion while our activities were restricted due to the coronavirus pandemic. The aim is to create opportunities for people to actually come to Hokkaido in 2022, when the “Go To Travel” campaign is expected to resume. Especially, I feel the high demand for people who want to go to Hokkaido from Kansai. We got a good feeling from actually exhibiting. The concept of the booth is "HOKKAIDO LOVE!". In the future, we are planning a promotion featuring Mr. Hiroshi Oizumi of TEAM NACS, an actor from Hokkaido.
