(1) The 9th Council for Promotion of Tourism in Asia
The council for promotion of tourism in Asia is an organization to implement the "Welcome to Asia Campaign", a joint project of the "Asian Network of Major Cities 21 (ANMC21)". While promoting collaboration among the Asian cities, the council aims to promote tourism in each city and attract tourists by presenting industries and urban infrastructures with distinctive local characteristics as attractive tourism resources. The council is currently composed of the nine cities of Bangkok, Delhi, Hanoi, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo.
This time, we will introduce the 9th conference, which was held in Kuala Lumpur.
