On 20 April, Mr Satoshi Torii, Deputy Mayor of Kobe city and Mr Junichi Hoshijima, Director of Kobe city’s Tourism department visited Sydney to promote Kansai region tourism and research sightseeing activities around Sydney’s CBD. We accompanied them to the QVB (a good example of heritage buildings being used for tourism and commercial purposes) and Taronga Zoo (hands-on experience with animals).
They were especially interested in the way Taronga allowed its customers to interact with animals which was different to zoos in Japan.
