For many years, our service has been utilized by individuals who cannot find time to study at a desk or dedicate focused study time after returning home to improve their skills. We are now launching a new campaign in partnership with Dive, which operates "Resort Baito," a work style gaining attention for allowing people to enjoy new encounters and local interactions while working in tourist and resort areas across the country.

We believe it will be beneficial for those who wish to acquire knowledge and skills during their commute or free time, and who aim to build their future careers while working. This collaboration aims to create new user experiences, such as listening to audiobooks during holidays while resort part-time working, enjoying a walk amidst scenic views, or pursuing skill development during breaks from on-site duties. ■ Campaign Details Staff members registered with Resort Baito Dive can use the audiobook.jp unlimited listening plan for free for the first 30 days.

Audiobooks are "books to listen to," where narrators or voice actors read books aloud. They allow users to enjoy reading solely through listening, making them accessible for individuals who find reading text difficult, and enabling "while-doing" reading during activities like running, commuting by train or car, or doing chores. In recent years, the widespread adoption of smartphones and wireless earphones has rapidly improved the environment for consuming audio content. Coupled with the introduction of subscription plans offering unlimited access to various works, the number of audiobook users has surged. Currently, audiobooks are expanding as the third major form of book consumption, following print and e-books. [Reference] Understand Everything from Audiobook Production to Recommended Titles!
