JATA World Tourism Congress & Travel Fair is comprised of two separate but complementary events.

JATA World Tourism Congress is a marketing conference centered around a particular theme relevant to today's travel and tourism professionals. JATA World Travel Fair is both a trade fair featuring a dedicated day for exhibitors to meet one-on-one with the Japanese travel trade and a consumer travel show where destinations and suppliers can showcase their travel offerings and appeal directly to potential Japanese travelers.

As a key industry capable of affecting the overall economy in various ways, the travel industry has taken on a larger role in recent years. On an individual consumer level, expectations are growing for the excitement, cultural exchange and relaxation that can be gained through travel.

The JATA World Travel Fair has taken this latent, universal "dynamism" inherent in travel as its keyword, which we work to pursue and express.
