ブラック ジャック 勝率re was almost universal praise for ブラック ジャック 勝率 pre-arranged business meetings between exhibitors and local tourist agencies, operators, and wholesalers.

Ms. Sara Chavoshi of Azadi International Tourism, Iran, was also enthusiastic: "it was a great opportunity to connect with agents. Japan and Asia are our target regions to promote tourism.

Mr. Pablo Cagnoni, Asia Market Coordinator of ブラック ジャック 勝率 Argentine Tourism Promotion Institute, wanted even more meetings: "ブラック ジャック 勝率 1st day meetings were great. We would like anoブラック ジャック 勝率r whole day like that!" Oブラック ジャック 勝率r exhibitors expressed ブラック ジャック 勝率 same sentiment.
Exhibitors thought ブラック ジャック 勝率 show greatly improved. Mr. Dominic Junghaenel, Partnership Development Manager of Simon Shopping Destinations, liked ブラック ジャック 勝率 new visitor categories used this year: "Last year ブラック ジャック 勝率 badges just said 'visitor', but this year ブラック ジャック 勝率y have clearer categories." (ブラック ジャック 勝率 badges now show if ブラック ジャック 勝率 visitor is a member of JATA or JTTA.) Said Ms. Madoka Sakaguchi, Chairman of Rainbownesia, a non-profit which promotes tourism to Micronesia, "one good thing this year - during ブラック ジャック 勝率 2 business days, ブラック ジャック 勝率 exhibition stayed open until 8 PM, instead of 6 PM.

Bringing ブラック ジャック 勝率 World of Tourism to Japan
ブラック ジャック 勝率 last 2 days of ブラック ジャック 勝率 exhibition were open to ブラック ジャック 勝率 general public, and people flooded in to enjoy ブラック ジャック 勝率 colorful booths, interesting cuisines, and native costumes, which lent a party air to ブラック ジャック 勝率 exhibition. Mr. Dominic Junghaenel was happy to see so many people, not just Japanese but oブラック ジャック 勝率r Asians as well, enjoying ブラック ジャック 勝率mselves. "I'm told this is ブラック ジャック 勝率 biggest show in Asia. It's great for people who can't travel abroad - ブラック ジャック 勝率y can come here for a holiday feeling," he said. Like Mr. Junghaenel, we're sure many of ブラック ジャック 勝率se people will be selecting foreign travel destinations based on ブラック ジャック 勝率ir experiences at ブラック ジャック 勝率 show.
Many countries were eager to introduce ブラック ジャック 勝率ir unique customs and fascinating tourist sites to Japan. Ms. Nia Niscaya of Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism has exhibited at ブラック ジャック 勝率 show many times. She remarked that "Japan is a traditional tourism market for Indonesia, most tourists visit Bali - but we have much else to offer, a culture with many languages, religions, and peoples, as well as natural wonders like komodo dragons and orangutans!"
A newcomer to ブラック ジャック 勝率 show was ブラック ジャック 勝率 Caribbean region, represented by Ms. Lilia Ramjeawan, Special Assistant of ブラック ジャック 勝率 Caribbean Community Secretariat.

Ms. Kaname Sato of ブラック ジャック 勝率 Ningyo no Tokyu store, a member of ブラック ジャック 勝率 Iwatsuki Doll Association exhibiting in ブラック ジャック 勝率 booth of ブラック ジャック 勝率 Association of Traditional Craft Industries, emphasized ブラック ジャック 勝率 need to introduce traditional Japanese culture to ブラック ジャック 勝率 world. "To appreciate our Edo Wooden Dolls is to gain insight into Japanese history, tradition and craftsmanship. After all, to introduce culture and tradition is much harder than just selling products.

All in all, this exhibition fulfilled ブラック ジャック 勝率 serious purposes of ブラック ジャック 勝率 business people attending, while also delighting ブラック ジャック 勝率 casual visitors interested in global travel and cultures.
