Support activities for Fukuoka Prefecture

A delegation from the Rugby World Cup (RWC) Fukuoka Committee and the Fukuoka Prefectural Government visited our office on Friday, August 17. The delegation was in Australia to promote the northern Kyushu region (including Fukuoka), particularly focusing on appealing to inbounding tourists for the RWC. Tickets for the RWC are available for general application for individuals this month, and will be available for sale from January at a first-come-first-served basis.

The delegation visited travel agencies, schools well-known for rugby, and other rugby-related organisations in Sydney to promote RWC matches held in Fukuoka, and also requested for assistance from the organisations they visited in promoting the Northern Kyushu region here in Australia.

At the CLAIR Sydney office, our staff gave an explanation of the different types of rugby played in Australia, and the differences in their popularities in different parts of the country. We also explained about the different events we participate in throughout the year, and the targeted demographics for these events, which were all useful information for the delegation’s promotional activities here in Sydney. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support their promotional activities.

The Japanese region featured in this month’s Local Cuisine around Japan section is Fukuoka. If you have not already done so, please take a look at page one of this newsletter to learn about what kind of cuisine Fukuoka has on offer!

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
