FURANO TOURISM BOARD – JAPAN
Digital Campaign & Consumer Activation
The Furano region is located in the centre of Hokkaido, in the north island of Japan. Well-known among Australian ski travellers for its incredible ski and snow experiences, the region also offers fantastic tourism experiences year-round.
The Furano Tourism Board was looking to raise brand awareness for the destination, gain insight into the Australian market, and gauge interest in Australian travel to Japan and Furano during the summer months.
