Kinki Nippon Tourist Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasuki Nagazaki) will establish a new organization, the "Global Education Center," specializing in supporting overseas educational travel, study abroad, and training, and will commence operations in April 2026.
This center is a specialized organization that provides integrated support for overseas school trips, short-term training, as well as medium- to long-term study abroad and advancement to overseas universities. Under the concept of "Learn about the World, Envision the Future," it aims to foster individuals who can proactively envision their own future by raising their awareness of global careers and their interest in the world. The center will design and accompany learning opportunities tailored to each school's educational policy, career guidance policy, and the growth stage of individual students, thereby supporting global talent development.
In recent years, while the importance of global talent development has been increasing in the educational field, the practical burden on schools, such as individual consultations regarding overseas study and advancement, collection of local information, and application/travel procedures, has become a major challenge. To address these issues, our company positions overseas education not as a "special experience" but as a learning option that is an extension of daily educational activities, and will build an integrated support system linked to schools' educational policies. The main support contents are as follows:
(1) Support for global educational activities at the school level
- Planning and design support for overseas school trips and short-term training programs
- Design support for study abroad and training systems
(2) Support for individual study abroad occurring within schools
- Provision of packages and individual consultations for individually participating short-term training, medium- to long-term study abroad, and overseas university advancement
- Counseling for students and parents, and career path design support
- Comprehensive support from application to travel preparation and local arrangements
Our company will develop (2) as a study abroad infrastructure called "ACOSTA SCHOOLS," aiming to introduce it to 100 high schools nationwide in the first year, and will promote the provision of optimal overseas learning opportunities tailored to each school's educational policy.
Going forward, we will not only arrange travel and mediate study abroad, but also collaborate with schools and local communities as an educational activity partner, working to strengthen the foundation for human resource development through overseas education and create diverse learning opportunities.
