Egypt takes center stage at Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 in Nagoya, highlighting its ancient heritage, unique travel experiences, and growing partnerships with Japanese travel agencies to boost tourism from one of Asia’s most valuable markets.
✈️ Egypt Expands Its Tourism Footprint in Japan
Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, represented by the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board, proudly participated in Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 — one of the largest and most influential travel trade events in Asia.
The exhibition, held this year in the vibrant city of Nagoya, brought together over 1,000 local and international exhibitors and attracted more than 110,000 visitors including travel professionals, media representatives, and the general public. Egypt’s presence reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening its position in the Japanese outbound travel market, one of the most promising sources of high-value tourists.
🏛️ A Grand Egyptian Pavilion Inspired by Ancient Civilization
The Egyptian pavilion made a striking impression with its pharaonic temple-inspired design, immediately capturing the attention of visitors and drawing them into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian history and culture. The visually captivating booth became one of the most visited areas at the expo, sparking strong interest among Japanese travelers and media alike.
Beyond its eye-catching design, the pavilion served as a dynamic platform to present Egypt’s diverse tourism products — from iconic cultural landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, and Aswan to adventure tours, Red Sea beach escapes, and luxury Nile cruises.
🤝 Building Strategic Partnerships with Japan’s Travel Industry
During the exhibition, Eng. Ahmed Youssef, Assistant Minister for Strategic Affairs and Acting CEO of the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board, emphasized that Egypt’s participation reflects a strategic priority: to deepen its presence in the Japanese market and showcase the rich, unforgettable experiences awaiting visitors.
Mr. Mohamed Younis, who oversees the Japanese market within the Board’s International Offices Department, held numerous high-level meetings with representatives from leading Japanese travel agencies. Discussions focused on expanding collaboration, tailoring Egypt’s tourism offerings to meet Japanese travelers’ preferences, and highlighting the enduring appeal of cultural and heritage tourism — a segment highly valued in Japan.
🌏 Strengthening Ties with the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA)
In a significant step forward, Mr. Younis also met with representatives of the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA). Talks included plans to organize a familiarization trip to Egypt for JATA members and to host a B2B workshop connecting Japanese and Egyptian tourism professionals. These initiatives aim to enhance promotional activities and create new opportunities for Egypt-focused travel programs in the Japanese market.
🎉 Engaging Experiences and Exclusive Offers
The Egyptian booth was not only about business meetings — it was also a hub of interactive activities and exciting promotions. Visitors participated in engaging quizzes and competitions about Egypt’s tourist attractions, and EgyptAir added to the buzz by organizing a raffle for free flight tickets to Egypt, further fueling interest and excitement around the destination.
