Airbnb Selects Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo as 'Must-Visit Cities for 2024'
In the "Airbnb 2024 World Travel Trend Forecast," Japan emerges as a key travel destination. This analysis, rooted in Airbnb's data, examines the growing popularity of travel destinations and the reasons behind travelers' choices.
The report foresees a surge in international travel in 2024, particularly noting an increase in tourists to Japan. Japanese cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, known for their blend of traditional and contemporary culture, are drawing New Year travelers.
To meet travelers' desires for serenity and restoration, "National Parks," "Best Views," and "Beaches" are leading in booking categories. Moreover, Airbnb's new "Guest Choice" feature offers a selection of 2 million lodgings based on reviews and trustworthiness.
This uptick in Japan's tourism suggests its potential as a desirable location for international meetings, events, and incentive trips. Emphasizing the trend towards seeking peace and relaxation, incorporating activities such as trekking in Niseko's scenic mountains, or wandering through Furano's lavender fields, can significantly improve participant satisfaction.
Additionally, combining Japan's cultural variety and traditions with contemporary attractions, like tours of Shuri Castle in Okinawa, Ryukyu dance shows, coral reef snorkeling, traditional craft workshops in Okinawa, and gold leaf crafting in Kanazawa, can create memorable experiences.
