Message from Fumiko Kato, Founder and CEO of WAmazing “Toward the Realization of Japan as a top international tourist destination after the pandemic” The Japanese government has set a goal of welcoming 60 million inbound travelers by 2030 and aims to increase domestic consumption by inbound travelers to JPY 15 trillion by then. In 2019, the number of inbound travelers was 31.88 million and the amount of their domestic consumption was JPY 4.8 trillion, while in 2030 the number of visitors and the amount of consumption are expected to grow approximately twice and three times higher, respectively. WAmazing is a platform that matches inbound travelers with tourism resources throughout Japan and provides online information on local businesses with attractive tourism products and services. Furthermore, we have created a one-stop platform service for inbound travelers where individual travelers to Japan can make reservations and payments, and we will strive to contribute to revitalization of local communities through inbound travelers and realize Japan as a top international tourist destination. About WAmazing WAmazing is a startup company founded in July 2016 that provides a tourism platform service for overseas visitors to Japan. WAmazing provides online (Web, App, WeChat) centralized travel reservation arrangements (OTA business) for the five major consumption categories (accommodation, sightseeing, shopping, transportation, and food & beverage) of inbound tourism to Japan.
