Department of Tourism Management Faculty of Economics Teikyo University exhibited for the first time at Tourism EXPO Japan 2024, which was held at Tokyo Big Sight (Koto-ku, Tokyo) from Thursday, September 26th to Sunday, September 29th, 2024.

This event is one of the world's largest travel festivals, with exhibits from government tourism organizations, travel agencies, airline and railway companies, prefectures and municipalities, local tourism businesses, tourism facilities, and other industry participants from 80 countries, and this year's event recorded over 180,000 visitors. In the Academy Corner, which is one part of the event, many universities with tourism faculties and departments exhibited, and the event was bustling with visitors from the tourism industry, students aspiring to study tourism, and their families.

At the exhibition booth of the university, all Faculty of Economics Department of Tourism Management faculty members and a total of nearly 50 students were able to introduce the appeal of the department to a wide range of visitors, such as the projects and seminar activities that the department is promoting in collaboration with local governments. For the students who participated as staff members, it was a valuable opportunity to interact directly with practitioners who are active on the front lines and the general public. In addition, Mr. Eijiro Yamakita, President and CEO of JTB, Mr. Akihito Saimeito Chairman of the Japan Tourism Promotion Association, and Mr. Hiroyuki Takahashi, President of the Japan Association of Travel Agents, who had previously given lectures in the department's classes, also visited the event.
Teikyo University will continue to expand its appeal to the business world and at the same time enrich the learning of our students through Practical learning.
