Corporate Profile
JTB Corp. got its start in 1912 as Japan Tourist Bureau, an organization that
was founded in cooperation between the government and the private sector to both
promote and facilitate travelers from overseas. Almost a century later, the
international travel division of JTB was spun off as its own company, JTB Global
Marketing & Travel (JTBGMT). Despite the change, JTBGMT continues in the
spirit of know-how and hospitality gained over the past hundred years.
Our Sunrise Tours started in 1964 to provide package tours for non-Japanese
visitors, and has hosted over 6 million guests on its many itineraries. JTBGMT
is also proud of its history and achievements in being one of the leading
companies helping to organize large international events such as the Tokyo
Olympic Games (1964), the Nagano Winter Olympic Games (1998), and the Japan-Korea
World Cup (2002).
Our global network has strengthened with the opening our Europe Sales Office in
Amsterdam in 2006 and Singapore Office in 2007, and these new offices will help
us provide even better services and opportunities for our customers.
JTB GMT launched Boutique JTB in February 2008 to expand our services into the luxury travel market. Around the same time, our company also created the Tourism Research Institute of GMT (TRIG), which provides support for policies that encourage travels to Japan and general tourism, policies for regional stimulus, and planning and promotion.
