Aiming to Build the 'AlumLink' Tourism Industry Alumni Platform
We have developed the original 'AlumLink' platform with the purpose of serving as a bridge between tourism industry alumni and tourism operators (ryokans, hotels, travel agencies, etc.).
In the next phase, we plan to expand the platform's features to allow other companies wishing to engage in alumni recruitment to register. This will enable mutual matching of valuable talent across an industry facing severe labor shortages.
'AlumLink' aims to create a platform that facilitates connections—such as posting the latest information from member companies and fostering cross-industry collaboration utilizing expertise gained in current roles—allowing alumni to remain engaged as 'fans of the tourism industry' even after leaving the company.
