An Update on Tourism Recovery in Japan: Ryoichi Matsuyama, President of JNTO

In this seminar Ryoichi Matsuyama will give an update on the state of Japanese tourism, covering the latest trends and challenges for the industry’s future. The updates from last month’s The Global Summit of World Travel & Tourism Council, in Sendai and Tokyo, will also be mentioned.

He graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1972. Formerly employed across the globe with Mitsui & Co, from Milan to New York, Mr Matsuyama also served as the Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Botswana from 2008 to 2010.
