The “Beyond #MissingJapan” campaign was inspired by social posts of people missing Japan as a result of the pandemic and a strong sense of eagerness amongst ANA’s crew to welcome visitors back to Japan. The end goal of the campaign is to excite travellers ahead of their next trip to Japan and give them an insider’s head start with planning.
Mr. Isao Ono, Vice President of Marketing & Sales, Asia & Oceania from ANA said “I trust this ‘Beyond #MissingJapan’ campaign will give those who have been missing Japan due to the pandemic an opportunity to rediscover Japan through videos introduced by Asia’s most well-loved personalities as well as 360° videos. At ANA, we continue to provide a safe and clean environment with comfortable services. We look forward to welcoming more travellers to Japan soon.”
The ‘Beyond #MissingJapan’ campaign shares some must-visit hidden-gems for both first-time visitors or seasoned visitors, through the lenses of seven social media celebrities including famous YouTuber Paolo and award-winning Singaporean actress Michelle Chong.
