Adventure World has expanded its Asia product into the ‘Land of the Rising Sun‘ with its first itinerary called ‘Handpicked Japan’.

 

The new 13-day trip gives Adventure World guests the opportunity to tick Japan’s renowned culinary experiences, ancient culture and unique sights off the bucket list.

The new itinerary comes after latest figures revealed a 24 percent increase in Australian visitors to Japan during peak month December last year compared to the same month in 2013.

In January, around 48,583 Aussies visited the East Asia destination – up 30 percent year-on-year.

According to the tour operator’s General Manager, Neil Rodgers, the company is meeting growing demand for the destination with an itinerary featuring some of ‘the most extraordinary experiences’.

“The country set a record for tourism figures last year with 13.4 million visitors in 2014 and already looks to be on track to set a new record in 2015.”
