Front-line Conference for In-destination Travel Businesses "Tabinaka Summit 2026" to be Held on Friday, June 12 [Supported by Japan Tourism Agency]

The Tabinaka Summit Executive Committee (Secretariat: Compass Corp.) announces that it will hold "Tabinaka Summit 2026" on Friday, June 12, 2026. Under the theme "How to Earn More and More?", in-destination travel businesses in the travel and tourism sector will gather to share business knowledge and promote cross-industry networking. The event will be held in a hybrid format with both on-site participation and online viewing, and will also feature a pitch event by startups specializing in the travel and tourism sector. We are currently recruiting attendees, pitch speakers, and media for coverage. ■ Background and Purpose: As the V-shaped recovery of travel consumption accelerates, the "Tabinaka" (in-destination services and experiences) sector is rapidly expanding both domestically and internationally. However, there has not been a sufficient platform for in-destination businesses to exchange information across industries and share best practices. The Tabinaka Summit is a conference born from this awareness, bringing together players involved in the in-destination business to deepen discussions on practical themes. Last year, a total of about 1,000 people participated both on-site and online. This year, under the theme "Tabinaka 2.0: How to Earn More and More?", we will support the business growth of all participants by bringing together specific case studies, data, and know-how. ■ Event Highlights: [Knowledge Sharing Session] Leading players in the in-destination sector will take the stage. They will share strategies for revenue growth, success stories, and the latest trends without holding back. Through lectures, panel discussions, etc., we will deliver knowledge that can be immediately applied in the field. Please also look forward to the two keynote speeches. "Tourism Nation Promotion Basic Plan and Expectations for Tabinaka": Mr. Satoshi Nagasaki, Director-General, Tourism and Regional Development Department, Japan Tourism Agency. "The Challenge of Junglia Okinawa to Create the Future of Japan from Okinawa": Mr. Daisuke Sato, Director and Vice President, Head of Business Development Division, Japan Entertainment Inc. [Networking] Businesses with diverse backgrounds in travel, tourism, region, and technology will gather. We will provide a place for cross-industry connections to be born. In addition to the networking party, this year we are introducing EventHUB to share information about on-site participants in advance, thereby activating pre-event, on-site, and post-event communication. This is a new initiative this year to respond to feedback from last year, where over 200 people attended and wanted to know who else was there. [Travel & Tourism Startup Pitch Event] A pitch event will be held where startups and entrepreneurs specializing in the travel and tourism sector will present new businesses and services. As a place for meeting investors and partner companies, we aim to accelerate industry innovation. ■ Call for Participants (Attendees, Pitch Event Participants, Media Representatives) The Tabinaka Summit has already received nearly 300 applications, but we look forward to the participation of many more. In particular, the networking party was sold out last year and we could not accept last-minute applications, so we encourage you to apply early. [Event Overview] Event Name: Tabinaka Summit 2026.
