Matt Joslin, PR and communications manager at the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), told TTG at WTM London cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Silversea and Celebrity Cruises were already looking to utilise Japan’s growing number of ports capable of handling cruise ships.
The JNTO’s aim, said Joslin, was to shift focus away from established choke points like Tokyo and Kyoto and instead promote the idea of taking in some of Japan’s cultural experiences, such as its spring cherry blossom, elsewhere across the length and breadth of the country.
