Launch of the domestic travel business and sales alliances with major travel companies

「Our group currently handles tickets and package tours for overseas and domestic cruises, centred on the operation of Best One Cruises, a search and reservation site specialising in cruises. As online channels are expected to gain share as sales and reservation channels for cruise travel, we will further expand the volume of information and number of courses offered, improve usability by enhancing user-facing functions and other measures, and seek to strengthen our competitive advantage.」

「For system development, we focused on developing a domestic air ticket booking website and proceeded through to its launch.」

「For its domestic travel websites, we had launched Best One Bus Tours, Best One Accommodation Reservations, Best One Domestic Tours and Best One Domestic Dynamic Packages, each operated independently as a specialised reservation site. By launching an integrated home page serving as the gateway to these sites, users can now move freely among them and search for and book all types of travel products. We have also continued developing the domestic air-ticket reservation site for an early launch.」

「Regarding new domestic travel site development, the company has been developing a domestic air-ticket booking site and plans to release it by year-end.」

「For its domestic travel websites, it released Best One Accommodation Reservations, a hotel and ryokan reservation site, in October 2021; Best One Domestic Tours, an original domestic-tour reservation site, in January 2022; and Best One Domestic Dynamic Packages, a domestic travel reservation site allowing users to freely combine air tickets, bullet trains, hotels and ryokan, in July 2022.」

「Regarding development of domestic travel websites, we have continued developing the domestic dynamic package (domestic DP) booking website and the domestic air-ticket booking website.」

「Regarding the development of domestic travel websites, we have been developing booking websites for domestic tours and dynamic packages, and on 26 January launched the booking website specializing in original low-priced domestic tours, "Best One Domestic Tours."」

「The company has continued developing domestic travel sites and financial and fintech media sites. On 19 October, it released Best One Accommodation Booking, an online booking site specializing in hotels and ryokan, and plans to release online booking sites for domestic original tours and dynamic packages by year-end.」

「For our domestic travel website, we opened a temporary domestic travel search page in August 2020 and accepted orders by telephone. In April 2021, we launched a booking website for bus tours and are currently receiving more bookings than expected. In addition, we have been developing online, end-to-end booking websites for hotels, original domestic tours, dynamic packages (DP), and air tickets. We plan to release these sites by the end of 2021.」

「In addition, on 6 April, we opened the online, end-to-end booking website specializing in bus tours that we had been developing.」

「Although progress in the domestic travel business has been slower than planned, we have steadily continued development toward launching the website.」

「For our domestic travel business, we entered into partnership sales agreements with several major travel companies, including 株式会社JTB and H.I.S.Co.,Ltd., and began sales in July 2020. We offer domestic tours, dynamic packages, bus tours and hotels, and have been certified as a registered operator under the Go To Travel campaign, so we have already received bookings.」
