Pioneering the Future through
the Value of Human Connection
OPEN FRONTIER 2035

At the JTB Group, we have long created new value by connecting people with people, and people with communities through travel and various forms of interaction. Throughout my own experience engaging with customers, I have personally felt how human connections enrich our lives and unlock vast possibilities. This fundamental belief remains at the heart of who we are today.

In the coming era, society will undergo profound transformations driven by the evolution of AI and digital technology. Yet, at the same time, the value of uniquely human qualities—empathy, creativity, and the power of real-life interaction—will become increasingly significant. While we will actively leverage AI, we will also maximize the power of our people on the front lines, which serves as the source of our competitive advantage. By doing so, we will continue to refine our products and services at a pace that exceeds customer expectations, ensuring we constantly deliver new value.

Supporting this vision is the expertise, insight, and ability to create meaningful connections that we have cultivated over our 114-year history. Looking ahead to the next century, we aim to be a corporate group that fosters a culture of continuous innovation, remains dynamic in the marketplace, and continues to be the preferred choice of our customers.

Furthermore, by placing sustainability at the core of our management and reassessing our global footprint, we will demonstrate our comprehensive strength by integrating our global and regional strategies.

Under our long-term vision, "OPEN FRONTIER 2035," we will continue to create new value alongside our diverse partners, challenging ourselves to realize a sustainable and fulfilling future society.
