UnionPay International Powers Seamless Payments for a Culturally and Technologically Enriching Japan Travel Experience

SHANGHAI, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — April brings one of Japan’s most anticipated international showcases of cutting-edge technology and innovation, drawing visitors from around the world. With an increasingly diverse tourism offering, Japan is reaffirming its status as a top global travel destination. In response to rising demand, UnionPay International is expanding its acceptance network and payment capabilities across Japan, offering global travelers a secure and convenient way to experience the country at its best.

This growing demand is evident in Japan’s record-breaking tourism numbers. In February 2025, the country welcomed approximately 3.26 million international visitors, up 16.9% year-over-year, setting a new record. South Korea led the inbound market, followed by China. In 2024, international travelers spent a total of ¥8.14 trillion in Japan, with the largest shares going to accommodation (¥2.74 trillion), shopping (¥2.4 trillion), and dining (¥1.2 trillion). These figures underscore the significant economic contribution of inbound tourism and highlight the growing need for seamless, efficient payment solutions.

UnionPay International is meeting this demand by enhancing its payment services across Japan. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene landscapes of Hokkaido, UnionPay International allows travelers to focus on discovery and enjoyment—without the hassle of payment concerns.

Since launching operations in Japan in 2005, UnionPay International has partnered with 15 major local acquirers to establish a robust acceptance network. Today, UnionPay cards are accepted at 82% of merchants and 100% of ATMs nationwide. Travelers also have access to more than 300,000 contactless terminals and 1.5 million QR code payment terminals.

UnionPay International’s services are designed to support every stage of the journey. Travelers can book flights on over 90 international airlines, reserve hotels on major platforms, and shop in-store at key retailers.

Tax refunds are just as accessible—shoppers spending over 5,000 yen at tax-free stores can easily receive their rebates directly to their UnionPay cards.

Innovating Payment Interconnectivity Worldwide

As a global financial infrastructure provider and leading international card network, UnionPay International is dedicated to improving cross-border payment connectivity. Outside the Chinese Mainland,over 260 million UnionPay cards have been issued in 83 countries and regions; in 37 markets, more than 220 UnionPay-powered e-wallets offer broad access to mobile payments.

This global expansion makes it easier for international tourists—including those from key source markets such as Hong Kong, Macau SAR, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Europe—to use payment tools they already trust while traveling in Japan.

UnionPay International is the top card brand in the Greater Bay Area by issuance and coverage. In Africa, UnionPay cards are accepted in 51 countries, with 13 markets issuing over 5 million cards. In SEA, nearly 50 million UnionPay cards have been issued, supported by more than 30 e-wallets in the region. In Europe, Spanish provider Pecunpay has launched UnionPay cards, and French users can now apply for UnionPay cards via the “Yi An” app.

UnionPay International’s ongoing investment in Japan’s payment infrastructure reflects a shared commitment to openness, innovation, and cultural connection. This vision is aligned with the themes of this season’s major international event, where tradition meets technology and culture embraces the future.

From shopping in department stores to navigating Japan’s extensive transit system, UnionPay International empowers travelers to explore more, worry less, and fully immerse themselves in Japan’s unique charm and forward-thinking spirit.

Key Metrics

The numbers for our key metrics, which include our period active users (PAU), period paying users (PPU), average membership and top-up streaming service revenue per active user (ARPU), and average membership and top-up streaming service revenue per paying user (ARPPU), are calculated using internal company data based on the activity of user accounts. We define an active user as a user who has downloaded and opened the FlexTV app at least once. We define a paying user as a user who has registered for a membership or has topped up, provided a method of payment, and is entitled to access FlexTV services (this membership or topping up does not include participation in free trials or other promotional offers extended by FlexTV to new users). We define ARPU as average membership and top-up streaming services revenue generated by each active user in one quarter. We define ARPPU as average membership and top-up streaming services revenue generated by each paying user in one quarter. We use these metrics to assess the growth and health of the overall business and believe that ARPU best reflects our ability to attract, retain, engage and monetize our users, and thereby drive revenue. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage of our products across large online and mobile populations around the world. In addition, we are continually seeking to improve our estimates of our user base, and such estimates may change due to improvements or changes in technology or our methodology.

APP Group Reinforces Support for Thailand’s Sustainability Initiatives

JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — APP Group reaffirms its commitment to environmental responsibility by supporting Thailand’s sustainability initiatives, including the country’s January 2025 ban on plastic waste imports.

Thailand is shifting from being a major destination for global plastic waste, having imported over 1.1 million tonnes between 2018 and 2021, to a nation prioritizing waste reduction, recyclability, and sustainable industry practices with initiatives such as the January 2025 ban on plastic waste imports. The import of plastic in Thailand has often been mismanaged, with many factories burning the waste instead of recycling it, causing harm to human health and the environment.

In response to this challenge, APP Group is dedicated to contributing to this shift through eco-friendly solutions. By working closely with local businesses, government agencies, and stakeholders, APP Group aims to drive progress in sustainable packaging and paper alternatives, with a focus on compostable, environmentally responsible products that align with Thailand’s efforts to reduce plastic dependency and promote a circular economy.

“We recognize Thailand’s progressive efforts towards environmental responsibility,” said Kin Keung Christopher Wong, Senior Vice President & Global Business Unit Head Industrial White of APP Group. “The nation’s proactive steps resonate with our commitment to offering packaging solutions that drive sustainability. By providing eco-friendly alternatives, we seek to aid Thailand in its efforts to reduce plastic waste and build a greener tomorrow.”

To reinforce its regional presence, APP Group has relocated its office to APAC Tower in Bangkok, positioning itself at the heart of Thailand’s sustainability efforts. This strategic move highlights Thailand’s importance in the pulp and paper industry while expanding APP Group’s commitment to sustainable growth and responsible business. The new location also fosters collaboration and strengthens its role in driving sustainable initiatives across the Indo-China market.

About APP Group

APP is a leading pulp, paper, and forestry company based in Indonesia, supplying high-quality tissue, packaging, and paper to over 150 countries. With operations in Indonesia and China, we prioritize sustainability, ethical practices, and the well-being of our employees, society, and the environment. Our Sustainability Roadmap Vision 2030, aligned with ESG principles, guides our efforts in environmental protection, community support, biodiversity preservation, and carbon neutrality.
