Visit Japan Booth at the 2012 Flight Centre Travel Expo
The Embassy of Japan organised a "Visit Japan" booth at the recent 2012 Flight Centre Travel Expo, held at Wellington's TSB Arena on Sunday, 29 January. The event was highly successful, with an estimated 5000 people attending. Over 1000 visited the Japan booth to answer a questionnaire about travel to Japan, and to ask questions about tourism. The booth also held Origami workshops and Japanese Tea Ceremony performances, both of which were well received by visitors.
Outside the Arena the Embassy of Japan also organised a Yosakoi dance performance and a Taiko drum performance, which attracted large crowds.
