DTCM bags Japan`s top tourism award

The Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) has bagged the prestigious “Best Tourism Office in Japan” award, presented by the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA). Mr. Glenn Johnston, Director of the DTCM Japan office received the award on behalf of the Department at a ceremony held recently as part of the JATA World Tourism Congress at the Tokyo Big Sight Conference Tower in Tokyo, Japan.

JATA awarded DTCM with the accolade praising the Department’s recent marketing and promotion work in Japan. The Chairman of JATA, Mr. Koji Shinmachi, cited DTCM’s agenda of proactive promotional activities within the market that generated a rapid increase in the number of Japanese visiting Dubai within a short number of years as a major reason for the association’s decision. It was highlighted by JATA that over the recent span of five years the number of Japanese visitors to Dubai had actually trebled.
