Bounce, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Bounce"), which operates the world's largest luggage storage platform "Bounce" with 35,000 locations in over 100 countries worldwide, has partnered with GSM Rentafone Pty Ltd. Japan Branch (hereinafter referred to as "AnyFone JAPAN"), which develops the global communication service "AnyFone JAPAN," to launch a new service integration for inbound travelers to Japan that combines "communication" with "luggage storage and delivery."
Through this partnership, inbound travelers can secure a communication environment immediately upon arrival in Japan while booking and using luggage storage and delivery services, realizing a smoother and more flexible movement and sightseeing experience.
### Background and Purpose of the Partnership
In recent years, with the increase in inbound travelers, the need for "efficient travel (Time Performance)" to make the most of limited stay time has been increasing. Within this context, "communication" and "luggage management" have become critical elements supporting a comfortable travel experience.
However, until now, these services were often provided individually, causing hassle and time loss for travelers in making arrangements, which acted as a factor limiting the freedom of movement and sightseeing immediately after arrival.
Bounce has been working to improve the sightseeing experience by removing movement restrictions caused by luggage, while also addressing congestion in public transportation caused by baggage. Through this collaboration with AnyFone JAPAN, which provides communication services, the two companies aim to seamlessly integrate the foundations of travel—"communication" and "luggage"—to further evolve Japan's tourism infrastructure.
### Outline of the Initiative
The following initiatives will be implemented in this partnership:
- Introduction and referral of Bounce services on the AnyFone JAPAN official website.
- Provision of benefits and discounts when using Bounce via the official website.
- Integrated guidance on communication and luggage services for inbound travelers.
This allows travelers to arrange both communication and luggage management in a single flow before their trip, enabling them to start sightseeing or moving immediately after arrival.
### Usage Scenarios and Provided Value
Inbound travelers can secure a communication environment immediately upon arrival in Japan by arranging eSIM or Wi-Fi on the AnyFone JAPAN official website before their trip. Subsequently, by booking Bounce's luggage storage and delivery service through the guidance on the same site, they can store or deliver their luggage immediately upon arrival at the airport.
Value provided includes:
- Sightseeing and moving "hands-free" immediately after arrival.
- Reduction of waiting and processing time at airports and stations.
- Mitigation of luggage-induced congestion on public transportation.
### CEO Comment (Bounce Founder / CEO Cody Candee)
"We are very pleased to be able to provide the two essential elements for inbound travelers, 'communication' and 'luggage storage,' in an integrated manner through our partnership with AnyFone JAPAN. Japan has many attractive cities and experiences, but there are times when the burden of luggage immediately after arrival limits those experiences. Through this initiative, we hope to create an environment where travelers can move smoothly from the moment they arrive and enjoy Japan more freely. Bounce will continue to collaborate with our partners to evolve Japan's tourism infrastructure into something more comfortable and sustainable."
