“India is a very big country so just one marketing strategy is not enough for the Indian market. We are seeking the Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru market. These three cities are on a higher priority for us because of the direct connectivity. Mumbai is the most important market for us as the leisure market is very big. Delhi and Bengaluru are also important to us given the high business demand. From India we receive travellers from three segments- luxury, sustainable and adventure tourism. We are focussing more on the luxury segment as most of the travellers coming from India belong to this segment. Incentive market is also very important to us since Japan is famous for technology and industries.”

Executive Director – Delhi Office, Japan National Tourism Organisation
