Hosted by: San’in Inbound Organization
As inbound tourism expands beyond Japan’s major cities, travelers increasingly seek authentic experiences in culture, nature, and human connection. To meet this demand, the San’in Inbound Organization is training a new generation of local guides who can tell the story of their region in their own words.
We are inviting travel agencies, DMCs, DMOs, and tourism operators to join an online exchange session with local guides . This is a prime opportunity to discover new guide talent and explore potential collaborations in the San’in region.
