Regional Revitalization

Contributions to SDGs 8: DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH 9: INDUSTRY, INNOVATION, AND INFRASTRUCTURE 11: SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

Basic Approach

Japan is famous for its traditional culture and tourism attractions. On the other hand, Japan faces concerns about falling populations in rural areas and the gradual decline of traditional industries. The ANA Group works together with corporations, NGOs, NPOs, local governments, and others to contribute to regional revitalization, while striving to develop long-term air travel demand. Through social contribution activities in the regions where we serve, we seek to build productive relationships with stakeholders and resolve social issues.

Implementation Structure

In October 2017, we set up the Tourism Development within ANA Marketing Sales to integrate the ANA Group company initiatives and maximize results in a more coordinated fashion.
