JTB recently announced that it will invest in the "RQ Ryokan Revitalization Fund Investment Limited Partnership," which is operated by Real Quality as an unlimited liability partner. The fund will promote regional revitalization through area development and support for the sustainable growth of inns and hotels. JTB's area solutions, which link tourism content by treating tourist destinations as a theme park to increase the value of the entire region, and Real Quality, which has provided revitalization consulting for over 1,000 inns and hotels, are aligned in purpose with the fund, which was established in 2023 as a public-private joint venture, with the goal of focusing on accommodation businesses. Through its investment in the RQ Fund, JTB will accelerate its area development business strategy, including support for the growth of tourism businesses, to increase the number of people connected to the region, extend the length of stay, and increase tourism spending. The RQ Fund is jointly invested in by the Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation, regional financial institutions, and private businesses. With JTB's participation, the fund size has increased to approximately 3 billion yen. The fund will continue to invest in accommodation businesses while soliciting investors, with the goal of raising the total amount to 5 billion yen. Specifically, in order to revitalize the region by utilizing content, it is essential to support the drawing out of potential while utilizing the attractions and resources of accommodation facilities, and we will support the sharing of human resource development, as well as the "standardization of things" such as the installation of central kitchens and the procurement of fixtures. On top of that, we envision providing area-wide business support, promotion support, and DX support for the entire region.
