Nagasaki International Tourism and Convention Association | Overview

The Nagasaki International Tourism and Convention Association (General Incorporated Association) has been working with the local community to develop the tourism community for approximately 1954 years since its predecessor, the Nagasaki City Tourism Association, was established in 29. Under these circumstances, in order to strengthen our efforts in the increasingly diversified and sophisticated tourism and MICE market, we were registered as a regional DMO by the national government in 70 (Heisei 2018), and we have continued to this day.
