To date, the videos featured on the portal have been played more than 50 million times worldwide and travel interest to the regional prefectures promoted through the portal1 – outside of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka – have shown a higher rate of growth at 45% year-on-year. The amount of time spent by travelers on the portal within TripAdvisor is also 40% longer than the average time users spend on other TripAdvisor website pages, demonstrating the strength of the stories showcasing the regional prefectures in Japan to the world.
To complement this, JAL has also launched a new site to cover broader destinations in Japan. Travelers can now use both portals to find even more information on tourism. In addition to this, four new videos featuring Miyagi, East Hokkaido, Kyoto and Nagano have now launched on “Untold Stories of Japan”.
1. Launch of JAL’s complementary site, “Another Stories of Japan”
The “Untold Stories of Japan” features local prefecture content based on travel themes. For example, Okinawa has a “beach” theme, while Tohoku features the “Omotenashi” or “Hospitality” theme. JAL plans to add additional information based on these themes introduced through the joint TripAdvisor portal to a complementary site called “Another Stories of Japan”. The latter will showcase actual traveler experiences from these destinations.
