We have noticed that Japanese guests find Latvian rural tourism attractive. Our nature, wide landscapes, authentic homesteads, live traditions, mushrooming, autumn colours are just few of the things that fascinate travellers from Japan. Therefore, we have created an attractive promotional brochure in Japanese language.

The brochure will be distributed in the Latvian stand in the largest travel fair JATA Travel Showcase in Tokyo, September 29 – October 2 (the fair attracts the audience of 100 000 tourism professionals and general public) http://www.jata-jts.jp/contents/index/en/ .

Lauku ceļotājs will also take part in receiving the Japanese tour operator fam trip in Latvia which is organised by the State Tourism Development Agency. We shall show rural farmsteads, treat our guests with natural herb teas, home-made black bread, honey and the traditional mushroom sauce. Work meetings with Japanese tourism professionals will take place during the fam trip.

Japanese language information will be put in the home page of Lauku ceļotājs and in social network sites. This way, we shall address the Japanese market directly and the travellers will find us in web search engines.
