Welcome to Tokyo, a city where ancient traditions harmoniously blend with cutting-edge innovation! The Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB) is the official organization dedicated to promoting and managing this vibrant metropolis. We’re passionate about showcasing the city’s unique charm to the world and fostering economic growth through tourism.
Our Mission: Making Tokyo the World’s Choice
Our mission is simple: to make Tokyo the world’s top destination for travel and business. We achieve this by effectively marketing the city to a global audience, emphasizing its ever-evolving image. We strive to attract tourists and business events, ultimately boosting Tokyo’s economy and supporting the development of its communities. This ambitious goal is achieved through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated staff, community partners, and stakeholders.
Embracing Sustainability in a City of Contrasts
Tokyo is a city of contrasts – a harmonious mix of history and modernity. This dynamic metropolis is steeped in centuries of tradition, where art, nature, food, entertainment, technology, and innovation converge to create something truly unique. While Tokyo’s many charms attract travelers from around the globe, it’s also a cherished home for countless residents. A diverse range of industries thrive within its local communities, each contributing to Tokyo’s vibrant tapestry.
However, the booming tourism industry presents a challenge. The influx of visitors inevitably puts a strain on the city’s resources, impacting the environment and potentially leading to overtourism. We recognize these challenges and are committed to promoting sustainable tourism.
Protecting the City’s Soul: A Sustainable Approach
We are dedicated to minimizing the negative environmental and social impact of tourism while simultaneously growing the industry sustainably. Our commitment to sustainability means ensuring that Tokyo remains a vibrant and welcoming destination for generations to come.
Unveiling Tokyo’s Beauty: Promoting the City’s Charms
As the vibrant heart of Japan for over four centuries, Tokyo stands as a crossroads where tradition seamlessly meets modernity. We tirelessly promote the city to both domestic and international tourists, working closely with travel professionals and media representatives to showcase its diverse attractions. We offer resources like travel guides for the Tama area and the islands of Tokyo, along with promotional tools and support for travel trade and media.
Supporting Business and Film: A Global Hub
Tokyo is a global hub for business and academic events, fueled by its lively cultural and economic center. We collaborate with local partners to provide exceptional support to organizers and planners, ensuring the success and safety of every event. We understand that the city’s unique appeal extends beyond tourism, making it an attractive destination for filming as well. Our official film commission, “Tokyo Location Box,” assists production crews in navigating the city, offering support to ensure smooth filming operations.
Welcoming Visitors with Open Arms: A City for Everyone
We understand that venturing into a foreign city can be daunting. That’s why we offer a variety of services and resources designed to make visitor experiences as pleasant as possible. We’re dedicated to making Tokyo more visitor-friendly in every way, empowering the tourism industry to embrace inclusivity and provide exceptional service.
Building a Sustainable Future: Collaboration for a Brighter Tomorrow
Tourism can be a powerful force for economic growth and social change. We are working tirelessly with stakeholders and partners across Tokyo to create a more attractive and sustainable city, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are shared by all. We are constantly strengthening our partnerships with industry leaders, including accommodation facilities, venues, tourist facilities, event support services, restaurants, tour providers, associations, and more. Together, we are committed to making Tokyo the world’s choice, a destination that embraces both tradition and progress, and a city that thrives for generations to come.
