On 7 March, the Perth Japan Festival 2020 was held at Elizabeth Quay in Perth, Western Australia.
CLAIR Sydney promoted the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the World Masters Games 2021 KANSAI, and various Japanese tourist destinations at the booth ran by the Consulate-General of Japan in Perth. Many festival attendees visited the booth to find information on the Golden Route, destinations for cherry blossom viewing, ski and snowboarding, as well as information on Hyogo Prefecture and Kagoshima City, the sister state of Western Australia and sister city of the City of Perth, respectively.
On the day, many visitors came to our booth and expressed their anguish in seeing the impacts of the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in Japan. They also expressed their hope of seeing travellers returning to Japan to enjoy the beautiful scenery, culture, and food once the virus has been contained.
CLAIR Sydney will continue to support Japanese local governments’ destination promotion activities in Australia.
