Mumbai: The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) is seeking submissions of photo and video content that will inspire viewers to hold their business events in Japan. The contest urges professionals from the MICE industry to share highlights of their best moments from the venues captured on film while in Japan.
The Japan Convention Bureau, a section of JNTO is working to promote Japan as an innovative and exciting destination to host international meetings, incentive tours, conventions and events. The slogan, ‘Japan. Meetings & Events – New ideas start here’, captures the essence of why organisations take their meetings to Japan: coming to Japan brings visitors into contact with the people and their culture.
