" The UK fails to rank in the top ten favourite destinations for ...Japanese travellers, a new study shows......Japanese with five leisure trips and an average spend of $4,800;The study ...pointed to Asian travellers’ preference for independent travel and high-quality holiday experiences...The study showed that 84% of Asian travellers say the first thing they would do when they reach a café/restaurant or hotel is to check for free wi-fi."
This correlates with our recent post showing that Australia is also having trouble attracting Japanese tourists with numbers down 6 percent in November 2012
Questions:
1. What are the key factors in attracting Japanese tourists?
2. Do countries have the expertise, budgets and staff to best support this customer base?
3. How can UK and Australia improve their tourism marketing?
