Marketing Opportunities

Cotswolds Japan Partnership

Are you serious about Japanese visitors? Then this is the campaign for you! The Cotswolds Japan Partnership (CJP) sets out to achieve more Japanese visitors to the Cotswolds. Most of all we want to encourage independent visitors to spend more time and to stay in the Cotswolds. www.the-cotswolds.org is our official Japanese website and is the main marketing tool for the Cotswolds Japan Partnership. There are 2 faces to this website – English and Japanese. The website has approximately 18,000 visits a month and currently appears top of google when you search for ‘The Cotswolds’. As part of the campaign we also attend a sales mission in Tokyo where we meet key press, we produce a visitor guide in Japanese and distribute it via Visit Britain Tokyo, we organise Japanese press visits throughout the year and we are highly regarded by Visit Britain Tokyo and work very closely with them. If you would like to be a part of the partnership and have an entry on the website please e-mail sarah.taylor@gloucestershire.gov.uk for further information and details of cost.
