Dear planners, organizers and business partners, Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB) is looking forward to greeting all of you again soon! Tokyo is gradually adapting to the New Normal and preparing to welcome you back to Tokyo before long. In Japan, domestic movement across the borders of prefectures was permitted once more from June 19th. Currently, events of up to 1,000 people may be held while keeping numbers under 50% of venue capacity. From July 10th the volume will be raised to 5,000 people for events while still keeping under 50% of venue capacity. Tourism activities are to be fully resumed on August 1st. As industries shift towards operating under the New Normal, major Japanese airlines have been making concrete steps towards making safe flights available to future visitors. This includes a requirement by All Nippon Airways for all passengers to wear face masks inside airports and aboard aircraft from June. Meantime, Japan Airlines will seat passengers one seat apart to maintain some measure of social distancing. Japan’s capital is waiting to welcome you back to a safer and cleaner environment than ever before. Tokyo has always prided itself on its exceptional cleanliness. Now we are challenging ourselves to raise the bar again. Business events-related associations, including Japan Convention Management Association, Japan Exhibition Association and Japan Hotel Association have established guidelines and recommendations for the industry. Meanwhile, some hotels in the capital have also been applying their own hygiene measures. TCVB, in close collaboration with the Tokyo business events stakeholders, has created Tokyo Updates Towards the New Normal portal on the Bureau’s site. There, you can find New Normal guidelines aimed at making Tokyo safe for international conferences and corporate events. This site also includes information on stakeholders’ initiatives and their messages. At TCVB, we are getting ready to support your event in a safe, secure and exciting Tokyo in these New Normal times.
