The event will feature talk sessions focusing on the future of regional tourism management and the tourism industry, as well as networking opportunities for participants to exchange opinions on local issues and future possibilities.

This meeting will take place on the evening of the opening day of “Tourism EXPO Japan 2026” at the same venue, Tokyo Big Sight.
