Hankyu Travel International (President: Seiji Matsuda) has started a popularity poll for its tours, titled the "HKB General Election." The poll covers three crab-eating day trip bus tours from Kansai, each with a pledge to upgrade. This is a unique initiative in which the product that wins first place in the vote will be sold with the content promised. HKB stands for Hankyu Travel International Crab Bus Tour. Three planners of crab-themed tours, which are popular for winter travel, will become party leaders and promote the product as their top pick. The "Full Belly Happiness Party" will extend the usual 60-minute all-you-can-eat crab time to 89 minutes and add an all-you-can-drink option. The "Souvenir Takeout Party" will increase the number of red snow crabs served as takeaway souvenirs from one to three. The "Relaxed Inn Party" will encourage votes for their products with pledges such as replacing all three snow crabs in the inn full course with live crabs. All products will be sold, but only the product that wins first place will be upgraded as promised. The travel prices for the three packages range from 9,990 yen to 12,990 yen. The products went on sale on October 5th. Voting can be done on the website that appears when you search for "Hankyu Travel International Kansai HKB." The voting period is from October 5th to 20th, the days when the products go on sale, and the results will be announced on November 1st. Voting status can be checked on the website.
