Recruiting supporters for the 4th 10 million yen tour 2025 Spring Festival Luxury Tour!
*Thanks to you, the second edition was also a success! *
Mingle Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, Representative), which has inbound measures for wealthy Chinese and Vietnamese people.
Due to popular demand, Tomoki Kobayashi will be holding a 2025 Spring Festival LUXURY tour project (10 million yen tour)! This project is also profitable.
We will donate 10% to the areas affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake! Our company also supports Noto in Hokuriku!
The first 10 million yen tour for wealthy Chinese people is for the Chinese New Year (type 1 order received and executed in February) The second 10 million yen tour for wealthy Chinese is for summer vacation in July and August (one type has been ordered, the other two are still attracting customers)
The third 10 million yen tour for wealthy Chinese people is for National Day and late autumn (currently a challenge)
Thanks to all of you, we have received far more response than expected from all over the country for the past three times, and we are very happy and grateful! We received an order for the second version, and we were very pleased with it. *
A video of this trip will be released before the Chinese New Year in January 2025! stay tuned! *
We have gained even more know-how by receiving orders twice in a row, but for this fourth edition, the 2025 Spring Festival edition, we would like to raise the bar a little.
again
Thank you very much for your interest in the challenge project of a local venture company!
For the first round, we received interview offers from 8 TV stations and 21 programs, but we were unable to respond, and in the end, we were broadcast on 7 programs, and we were featured in 1 newspaper company and 1 weekly magazine.We would like to thank you again. . We would like to sincerely apologize to the 14 programs that we were unfortunately unable to accommodate.
For the second edition, we have created 3 types of tours and received orders for 1 type! There was a possibility of a fluke if we only received orders for the first batch.
We continued to take on challenges and thanks to you, we received two orders in a row! This time, we aim to receive orders for all three types, and the second round is currently underway!
Thanks to your support, our know-how on high-priced tours has been further enhanced and we are now at the stage where we can offer it to those looking to attract wealthy customers.
It has become. Furthermore, I am able to gain experience and track record, and take on challenges with a high level of difficulty. By the end of 2025, we will be building a new scheme to attract wealthy customers and will be able to introduce it to everyone.
Japan has four faces called the four seasons, and this is the time of the year when the most wealthy Chinese people go abroad.
We would like to create a one-of-a-kind luxury tour for the Spring Festival (January 29, 2025).
Kyoto in winter is also very atmospheric.
Winter in Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui is also full of delicious food. Be sure to check out the night views of Kenrokuen Garden and Gokayama, Toyama covered with snow in the middle of winter!
Speaking of Hokkaido in winter, Niseko is famous for its powder snow. Special accommodations, special “no-wait” transportation, and I think you’ll also find the special lunch you can enjoy on the slopes appealing.
In winter in Ehime, a world of orange spreads out that can only be seen in a citrus country, and there are many farmed fish.
It is one of the areas that satisfies Chinese people’s stomachs. Cycling along the Shimanami Kaido would be great if it’s winter and the weather is sunny and the wind is light.
This is an irresistible spot for Chinese people who love photography! Aichi Prefecture has a good balance in everything, with excellent food, learning, and medical care.
By incorporating a special visit to Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture, Wealthy people who prioritize business will also be happy.
I am glad that Akafuku has been highly praised!
Ise-Shima has unique topography and scenery not found in other areas. There are many areas rich in nature nearby, and there are many things to see and do.
Fukuoka and Nagasaki prefectures are also a treasure trove of delicious food, and are popular among wealthy Chinese who prefer hot food.
Motsu nabe and champon are popular dishes.
Akita Prefecture is best known for its kiritanpo nabe and sandfish eaten in the hearth!
Nyuto Onsen, which is bathed in a snowy landscape, has a reputation for being atmospheric and having excellent spring quality.
Yamagata prefecture’s Maezawa beef and Yonezawa beef were also loved by wealthy Chinese.
And Ubayu Onsen, which can be accessed by switchbacks, is a favorite among wealthy people who like thrills.
The best! was being called repeatedly.
The rice in Miyagi Prefecture is delicious, and the sushi made in Shiogama is especially great! (Customer story)
Although Tochigi Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture do not have the sea, they have a wide variety of food and are rich in nature. There are many adventure facilities, and there are many transportation options, making it extremely easy to get to.
Did you know that the Nasu Imperial Villa is also surprisingly useful as a weapon?
Fireworks in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, impress wealthy Chinese people! Season is from October to March
Visiting “that” facility is also a big advantage, and it also has a delicious sake effect.
It has become a popular area.
I can’t describe the charm here, but
The remote islands in each region have their own wonderful resources and seasonal faces.
There is one and only. And Japanese people have great hospitality. Hospitality! It has the world’s strongest characteristics.
Our company takes wealthy Chinese people all over Japan mainly for study tours. This time, we will try to attract tourists as sightseeing, keeping in mind the areas that have a distinctive face during the Chinese New Year!
I would also like to prove through results that people can be used as weapons.
*About inbound*
Let me go back a little bit.
In August 2023, the ban on group tours for Chinese people will be lifted, and things will be booming! People in the industry were excited, but due to China’s overreaction to the release of ALPS treated water in October, there was no significant growth.
Data from the Japan Tourism Agency shows that the number of Chinese visitors to Japan has only recovered to 40% of its pre-coronavirus level.
Moreover, consumption for essential shopping and other activities is less than half of what it was before the coronavirus, due in part to the impact of China’s domestic economy.
Similar results have been obtained in Yugaku, which we handled. Here, I would like to tell you about some impressive cases that our company actually experienced.
This is a story about a customer who visited Japan with 33 people before last summer.
2 people in the ultra-rich class (annual income of 100 million yen or more), 17 people in the high-net-worth class (annual income of 30 million yen or more),
A group tour consisting of 14 people from the newly wealthy class (annual income of around 10 million yen).
We do not know the consumption amount (purchase amount) of all customers. The amount spent by ultra-wealthy customers (one man and one woman) up to the last day is
Ultra-high-net-worth female customers earn over 5 million yen, There was an extreme case in which a male ultra-wealthy customer received 0 yen (reported by the customer himself).
Before the coronavirus, there had never been a case like this. It was at that moment that I realized that consumption was definitely declining.
So what kind of consumption measures should we take?
You can learn naturally by working together.
It’s sure to be an eye-opener.
Speaking of this, when it comes to shopping, the word “brisk” is not appropriate.
From June 2023, before the ban on groups is lifted, we will use a new form of attracting wealthy Chinese customers to groups.
We steadily attracted customers in June, July, August, September, October, and in November and December before the Chinese New Year. All tours for 2023 have been completed.
Just when we were hoping for a further leap forward in 2024, on January 1, 2024, the Noto Peninsula earthquake occurred.
As a result, the tour at the beginning of the year was canceled and it was a disappointing start.
This earthquake was not the trigger, but
Yugaku is a tour that mainly takes place on weekdays, not during daytime holidays, so the Spring Festival in 2024 (February 10th) It was a slow season for our company, but one of our customers asked, “Are there any special sightseeing tours? “and
Past marketing data says, “I’ll pay any amount if I can have a 〇〇 experience!” ” he said.
I remembered that there were several comments from the management, and decided that it was a “truly special sightseeing tour.”
Let’s try it! I thought, if you’re going to do it anyway, it’ll be more fun if you make a plan that stands out.
I decided to plan a “Super Luxury 10 Million Yen Tour” thinking that I might be able to give dreams to many people.
Did.
Although I have steadily built up a track record in tourism, I am by no means a professional when it comes to sightseeing.
This cannot be accomplished without the cooperation of many people! Based on the following content,
We are recruiting. ↓
On October 12, 2023, the following press release was sent out. https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000079.000043062.html
On October 25, 2023, we additionally issued the following press release. https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000081.000043062.html
It’s a long story, so I’ll omit it.
As a result…we were able to order only one of the three genres for the first edition!
Of course, we were overwhelmed by the order, but we understand the tendencies and characteristics of Chinese people to a certain extent. I was worried about cancellation right away. By the way, this is not tour data. Looking at the data released by Baidu, the cancellation rate for Chinese online shopping is high.
I knew that the 40% figure had come out, so I realized that my worries came before my joy.
I remember it clearly.
The tour was finally carried out in February, and we shared our joy with everyone involved.
The fact that all three types did not lead to pleasing results… There is still room for improvement.
And the 2nd edition, 1 type order! Two more types are still attracting customers! Now what will happen?
I will do my best!
For this 4th Chinese New Year edition, we decided to take on the challenge of teaming up with professionals in some field, and decided to invite entries from all over the country.
From Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, even remote islands are welcome!
