About Japan Travel Bridge™
In recent years, with the widespread adoption of smartphones and IoT devices, data is now generated in every aspect of daily life. In the business world as well, the importance of data-driven decision-making has been recognized, and the use of data has become indispensable for improving the customer experience and gaining a competitive advantage. In the tourism industry as well, we believe there is a growing need to understand visitor attributes, behaviors, and preferences—and to use data to demonstrate the factual basis and actual conditions that serve as the foundation for decision-making—when formulating tourism policies and implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of various initiatives. Therefore, JTB Tourism Research & Consulting has launched “Japan Travel Bridge™,” a people flow analysis service that utilizes our proprietary patented technology to track the movements of domestic travelers and inbound travelers by country and region.
Features
This service uses our proprietary analysis system to analyze location data of visitors to predetermined survey spots or areas, extracting human flow data. Based on this data, we assess the current situation and work with clients to define the requirements for the data deemed necessary to address specific challenges. Under this model, we extract and analyze the necessary data and present insights and recommended measures.
Foot Traffic Map
People flow data analyzed for cluster patterns is plotted on a map, allowing users to review and analyze the data.
