The association was established in 1978 as a voluntary organization for study groups focusing on the field of overseas travel. In 2024, we will celebrate the 46th anniversary of our founding, and we are now an organization with 154 members.

The association's members are drawn from a wide range of companies involved in the tourism industry (major and small travel agencies, land operators, cruise specialists, airlines, hotels, government tourist bureaus, tourism-related schools, IT service providers, insurance companies, industry press, etc.).

The association's basic stance is to be "A place to learn business and a place for relaxation to expand industry networking". Our activities include monthly meetings with prominent guests, New Year lectures, and various friendship events.

At monthly meetings, which are held seven times a year, we put a lot of thought into the program each time. We also have lectures by outside lecturers on social trends and lectures by famous people on the value of travel based on their own experiences. We are proud to say that we are the only voluntary organization with such a long history. We focus on making our regular domestic and overseas study tours a place where you can experience the joy of travel through your own personal experiences, deepen your exchanges with other members, and have fun while learning.

At our annual New Year Lecture, which is held early in the New Year, we invite a wide range of famous people to give lectures, and we also invite many people from the industry.

With the unstable future of the travel and tourism industry, the New Year's Lecture Meeting is a valuable opportunity for executives to candidly share information, discuss issues and challenges, and experience the pleasure of travel so that travelers can feel the happiness of travel.

We look forward to many people joining us in support of this cause.
