Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau

What We Do

Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau is the official destination marketing and management organization for Tokyo. Our goal is to build economic prosperity and support community development through tourism. We effectively market the city and communicate the ever-evolving image of Tokyo to global audiences in the aim of attracting visitors and business events. This is achieved through the coordinated group efforts of community, partners, and staff working together.

Making the city sustainable through tourism

In “making Tokyo the world’s choice,” TCVB strives to create a sustainable city through tourism and business events.
Tokyo is a metropolis that breathes with centuries of tradition. Art, nature, food, entertainment, technology, history and innovation all meet and evolve to create new value here. Tokyo’s many charms attract travelers from around the globe, yet, many people also call the city home. A multitude of industries are rooted in its local communities, and Tokyo’s residents wish to protect its unique culture and vibrant environment.
The tourism industry puts a strain on this environment because it encourages the movement of a large number of people and the consumption of massive amounts of energy. Furthermore, an excessive concentration of travelers can cause overtourism to run rampant.
We will pursue the goal of sustainable tourism with the utmost responsibility to both minimize the negative environmental and social impact that tourism causes, and to further grow the city's tourism industry.
