On 30 Nov, a reception celebrating the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan was held at the official residence of the Consul-General of Japan in Sydney. This year’s reception saw attendance of more than 200 guests, along with various NSW government related individuals, Japanese company affiliates, and representatives from Japanese organisations. CLAIR Sydney ran a booth at the reception to promote CLAIR and Japanese tourist destinations. This time, we had brochures from different destinations across Japan, including Tokyo and Yokohama, where the Rugby World Cup 2019 will be held, Aomori and Miyagi Prefectures, as well as Sydney’s Japanese sister city Nagoya. Many of the guests who visited our booth were interested in Japan and read through the different brochures. This reception was a great opportunity to promote Japanese tourism to people in NSW who are involved in the further development of the Japan-Australia relationship.
