Japan aims to attract 60 million foreign visitors every year by 2030, and the country has been extensively promoting itself.

At Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, a Japanese travel company helps facilitate local customers.

Kenji Nakamura, Managing Director, HIS Tours Co., Ltd. (Thailand), said, "As per our company's global expansion plan we started travel services in Bangkok for local customers six years ago. Primarily, we provide services to customers traveling to Japan. In Thailand, at that point, a tourist visa was required for traveling to Japan. After the visa issue solved, the situation became very user-friendly for customers. Japan has become accessible and soon turned into a popular travel destination."

HIS has setup many branches in Thailand, a majority of them located at public places like subways.

They have hired local staff to better communicate with the customers.

As per the promotion strategy, an entire train was painted and made into a HIS train.

Along the course traveling to Japan, I became more and more comfortable with not only booking hotels, but also with public transportations, such as subway."
