Welcoming approximately 400,000 inbound customers annually from around the world, JTMH Group and Kamome Tourist Co., Ltd. produce various international exchanges that connect people, things, and hearts, aiming to make the world and Japan feel closer to all customers, based on the management philosophy of "becoming a bridge connecting Japan and the world and pursuing the satisfaction of customers worldwide."
We hold a strong conviction that the travel industry is not merely an industry that "relies on peace" but one that "creates peace itself," and we will continue to challenge new forms of exchange in collaboration with various communities, educational institutions, and companies.
## Breaking the Current Introverted State and Creating Peace Itself
Currently, due to factors such as the economic environment and exchange rates, the recovery of individuals traveling from Japan to overseas remains sluggish. However, we strongly feel that we must break out of this introverted situation.
What cannot be understood through news and internet information alone—the local atmosphere, the warmth of the people, and the overwhelming scale. Experiencing these with one's own five senses and engaging in direct dialogue is the most reliable way to deepen understanding between people with diverse cultural backgrounds and ways of thinking. That is precisely why we continue to create new opportunities for exchange between Japan and various countries worldwide, including the vast and diverse nations of India and China.
■For Junior and Senior High School Students Who Will Lead the Future: "Next-Generation Study Tours" to Experience India's Diversity and Spirituality
India is predicted to reach a population of nearly 1.7 billion by 2050. Japanese youth living in the coming era will engage with Indian people in various capacities.
We propose "Next-Generation Study Tours" to India for junior and senior high school students nationwide, who will carry the future of Japan. Experiencing cutting-edge global scenes like IT parks and markets where multiple languages and religions coexist, and interacting with students of the same age, will be an invaluable asset for young people.
By valuing "space" and encouraging continuous self-reflection without rushing to conclusions, this program will provide opportunities for junior and senior high school students to re-examine "what it means to live as oneself" and discover new values.
■The Power of "Oshi" Transcending Borders: Heartfelt Grassroots Exchange Between Japan and China
Historically, various incidents have occurred between Japan and China, affecting the tourism industry and exchange programs. However, through our daily business, we realize the strength of people's pure "liking" that exists independently of politics or borders.
The power of "Oshi"—such as special tours produced by popular Chinese actors originating from Japan, or birthday tours to Sichuan to reunite with pandas that have returned to China from Japan—moves people's hearts across borders through entertainment and love for animals.
Furthermore, through our new Chinese travel brand "Gachi-Tabi China," we propose "true Chinese charm" through inspection tours that explore tourist resources and cutting-edge technologies not yet widely known in Japan, conveying the appeal of China to new generations, including younger demographics.
## Kamome Tourist / JTMH Group's Dream
Our dream is to continue creating opportunities for "face-to-face" exchanges between all countries and Japan.
Through the experience of travel, people from different backgrounds connect through shared "likes" or "interests" and engage in dialogue. We believe that the accumulation of such grassroots activities is the foundation for bringing peace to the world.
Moving forward, the JTMH Group will continue to be a corporate group that creates exchanges with all countries as a bridge connecting Japan and the world, with pride in the travel industry as an industry that "creates peace itself."
"April Dream" is a project by PR TIMES where companies announce the dreams they wish to fulfill someday on April 1st. We are seriously aiming to realize this dream.
