Tourism Promotion at the Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival 2019

On 17 and 18 Aug, CLAIR Sydney ran a booth at the Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival 2019 held in the Auburn Botanical Gardens. The festival took place until 25 Aug.

At the CLAIR Sydney booth, we handed out brochures to promote tourist destinations across Japan, focusing on cherry blossom viewing destinations that are not known to most Australians. On Saturday, 17 Aug, members of JETAA NSW joined us at our booth and shared their travel experiences in Japan with visitors of the festival. Many of those who visited our booth are very keen to travel to regional areas off the Golden route (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and more) to enjoy cherry blossom viewing in lesser-known locations. Many of the visitors expressed that they are looking forward to visiting the hidden gems we introduced to them!

The great weather over that weekend brought thousands of visitors to the festival to see the beautiful cherry blossoms, and our promotion was a big success!

  • From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.

    During the joint training, the athletes deepened their connections, and in the competition, the Fukuoka swimmers achieved remarkable success, earning numerous medals.
     
    The visit is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2023 between the Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Swimming Association, and Swimming NSW. CLAIR Sydney received a request from Fukuoka Prefecture to assist them with their activities and accompanied them during some parts of their visit.
     
    We will continue to support and deepen exchanges in the field of sports between Fukuoka Prefecture and NSW.
    To all the athletes, coaches, and accompanying staffs, Otsukaresamadeshita!

  • 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.
