Japan is continuing to reap the rewards of a global tourism boom , where people from all over the world are keen to explore its rich history and breathtaking landscapes . From January to June during this year alone , the estimated number of international travellers exceeded 11mn , with an increase of 20 % in overseas visits compared to previous years .
Whilst many travelers would have normally utilised Kansai International Airport , the country ’ s Osaka Itami Airport and Kobe Airport also significantly serve those situated in the nearby cities of Osaka , Kobe and Kyoto . Altogether , the three airports provide services to over 47.6mn passengers annually .
To ensure the airports remain fully equipped to service such increased traffic flow , shareholders at VINCI Airports and financial services group ORIX Corporation are directing significant investment towards the digital transformation of the airports , driving maximum value for tourists and residents , whilst unlocking its growing potential .
