OCTB, MUIC Kansai To Unveil Bespoke Industrial Tours Platform Ahead Of Expo 2025

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 (Bernama) -- The Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau (OCTB) has partnered with Kansai Innovation Center (MUIC Kansai) to launch "Tech Tours Kansai", an innovative new platform to develop custom-tailored industrial tours, anticipating opportunities presented by Expo 2025 running from April to October 2025.

Ahead of the event, the Kansai region is rapidly gaining attention from government officials and corporate incentive groups around the world looking to explore Kansai's opportunities in industrial tourism.

According to a statement, the new platform handles a wide range of the Kansai region's prominent industries, including gastronomy, traditional craftwork, manufacturing, and next-generation energy development, among others.

Tours encompass more than just industrial site visits, but include visits to significant cultural properties, unique culinary experiences, first-hand experiences with traditional crafts, and more comprehensive offerings across the Kansai region.

Tech Tours Kansai is a team of travel experts who, while collaborating with financial institutions, coordinates custom-tailored tours that accommodate any group's needs and requests.

The platform also assists in developing new business opportunities in Japan in expert matchmaking, expanding business markets, and connecting with new investments, all while collaborating with financial institutions.

It is also a one-stop service that manages each step of the travel itinerary, from pre-planning to travel follow-up. In addition to coordination with Expo 2025 site visits and other tours, the Tech Tours Kansai team provides support for all travel needs, including accommodations, transportation, and dietary requests as well as coordinating special excursions and spousal programmes.

Tech Tours Kansai emphasises custom-tailored assistance, and support for bespoke industrial and incentive tours on this platform will continue even after the conclusion of Expo 2025.

Expo 2025 is the world's next biggest event, bringing business innovation and major recovery for the tourism industry and will be Japan's first major post-COVID international event, offering an unprecedented opportunity to showcase Osaka and the Kansai region as a premier meeting and event destination.
