ARIAir Co., Ltd. has partnered with Gurunavi Inc. to begin the development of a helipad at Wakayama Marina City and the offering of helicopter transfer tourism plans.

(Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yota Matsumoto) has developed a heliport in Wakayama Marina City and will be the first company in Japan to manage it and arrange helicopter transportation for a sightseeing plan with food and helicopter transportation provided by Gurunavi, Inc.

By selling a package of "attracting inbound travelers to Wakayama," "Gurunavi, a restaurant search platform," and "sightseeing with helicopter transportation," this initiative will create an opportunity for foreign visitors to visit Japan and provide travel plans that lead to a trip to Japan, focusing on eating and drinking to experience Japan's extraordinary experiences. We will be able to offer travel plans that lead to a trip to Japan with a focus on food and beverage for an extraordinary experience in Japan.

Alila has been providing multilingual reservation services in English and Chinese for information dissemination to foreign visitors to Japan, and professional concierges are available to accompany travelers and explain local information.
By utilizing the service, we will further improve convenience for Chinese visitors to Japan and provide a comprehensive business support service from sending customers to working with the government through information dissemination and sales promotion support.

In order to meet the growing demand for sightseeing and activities that are not normally available to the wealthy international clientele, this plan allows passengers to experience the beautiful scenery and wonderful food culture of Wakayama Marina City while remaining in the privacy of a helicopter.

Alila Co., Ltd. will continue to provide unique sightseeing plans and contribute to the local community as a company that offers high quality sightseeing experiences, and will create new value in the tourism industry by not only continuing to offer inspiring experiences to our customers, but also valuing harmony with the local community.
