Japan’s top travel company, JTB, has kicked off an exciting new plan called Inbound VISION 2030. Revealed on first September, 2025, the goal is to pull millions more visitors to Japan by teaming up with local areas and using smart data to make every trip even better. They’re aiming to boost their bookings by 2.7 times and achieve nearly 3 times more profit by 2030, targets that blow away the usual industry predictions.
JTB’s Chief Executive Officer, Eijiro Yamakita, emphasised that the company’s mission extends beyond merely serving tourists. The company aims to foster sustainable growth within local communities by improving the region’s overall infrastructure and tourism offerings, while simultaneously enhancing Japan’s global tourism presence. Yamakita pointed out the importance of quality tourism over quantity, stressing that this approach will benefit local economies and contribute to a more balanced distribution of tourists across the country.
According to the company, these bases will enable a more targeted approach to domestic sales and facilitate deeper collaboration with local tourism operators and businesses. Furthermore, JTB plans to enhance its partnerships with overseas OTAs (Online Travel Agencies), building on previous collaborations such as the JTB Inbound Trip partnership with Trip.com.
Creating Regional Impact: Decentralising Tourism A significant part of JTB’s strategy is focused on decentralising inbound tourism, ensuring that visitors explore more than just Tokyo and Kyoto. JTB will collaborate with local governments, tourism operators, and businesses to unlock the potential of Japan’s less-visited areas. The goal is to create new tourism experiences in these regions by introducing unique venues and activities, such as area tours and special visits to temples and shrines.
