Welcome to Tokyo, a city pulsating with energy and steeped in centuries of tradition. From the bustling streets of Shibuya to the serene beauty of ancient temples, Tokyo offers a captivating blend of modernity and heritage. As the official destination marketing and management organization for Tokyo, the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB) is dedicated to promoting Tokyo as a global travel destination and ensuring its sustainable growth.
Promoting Tokyo’s Unique Charm
Tokyo is a melting pot of cultures, where art, nature, food, entertainment, technology, history, and innovation all converge to create something truly special. It’s a vibrant metropolis that attracts visitors from around the world while also serving as a beloved home for its residents. However, this bustling environment comes with its own challenges.
The tourism industry, while a major economic driver, can put a strain on the city’s delicate balance. The influx of visitors can lead to overtourism, impacting the environment and the quality of life for local residents. TCVB is committed to sustainable tourism, recognizing the need to minimize the negative impacts while maximizing the benefits for both visitors and the community.
Fostering Sustainable Growth
TCVB strives to promote Tokyo as a responsible and sustainable destination. We work closely with industry partners, local communities, and stakeholders to ensure that tourism benefits everyone. This includes:
- Minimizing environmental impact: We encourage eco-friendly practices and work to reduce the carbon footprint of tourism activities.
- Preserving cultural heritage: We promote responsible tourism that respects Tokyo’s unique traditions and cultural values.
- Supporting local communities: We work to ensure that tourism benefits local businesses and residents, fostering a sense of pride and ownership in the city.
A Global Hub for Events and Film
Tokyo is not only a popular tourist destination but also a global hub for business and academic events. With its world-class infrastructure and highly skilled workforce, Tokyo is an ideal location for conferences, exhibitions, and other events.
TCVB collaborates with local partners to provide comprehensive support for event organizers, ensuring a smooth and successful experience. We also recognize the growing popularity of Tokyo as a filming location. “Tokyo Location Box,” our official film commission, provides production support and guidance to film crews, ensuring that productions run smoothly and showcase the city’s unique beauty.
Welcoming Visitors with Open Arms
TCVB is committed to creating a visitor-friendly experience for everyone. We provide a variety of resources and services to make travelers’ stays more enjoyable and convenient, from travel guides to language support.
We are dedicated to making Tokyo a more accessible and inclusive destination for all. This includes working to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities, promoting cultural sensitivity, and ensuring that visitors feel welcomed and safe.
Building a Brighter Future for Tokyo
Tourism is a powerful force that can stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and promote cultural understanding. By working together with industry partners, local communities, and stakeholders, TCVB aims to ensure that Tokyo’s tourism industry continues to thrive in a sustainable and responsible manner. We believe that by embracing sustainable practices and prioritizing the well-being of both visitors and residents, we can create a brighter future for Tokyo, a city that is truly the world’s choice.
