Audley’s sales manager for Japan returns to the country
Laura Morris, Regional Sales Manager for the Japan team here at Audley, has just returned from a short but rewarding visit to Japan. Here, she tells us about her latest trip, her first since March’s devastating earthquake and tsunami:
“Having been to Japan many times before, I was expecting it to feel different this time, given the circumstances. However, Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima all felt very “normal” and the Japanese people were as welcoming and friendly as ever. As usual, everything ran like clockwork on the trip and served to remind me how fun it is to travel in Japan.
Before the earthquake and tsunami, Japan was booming as a tourist destination and we had seen a huge increase in enquiries compared to last year. We have recently seen interest coming back, with clients now feeling confident in returning to Japan. We had several clients visit Japan in the aftermath of the disaster, who have returned with glowing reports on their trips. You can see more on this on our post ‘Travellers are returning to Japan’.
Now is the perfect time to be booking travel for October and November to see the stunning changing colours of the autumn leaves, or for spring next year to time your visit with the famed cherry blossoms.”
