BC Wood is once again organizing the Canadian Pavilion at the Japan Home & Building Show on behalf of the wood industry. This show is held at Tokyo Big Sight and this year it will run from November 20th to 22nd. We are expecting to have the largest Canadian pavilion at the show in over 10 years. This is still the best show for companies looking to enter the Japanese market.
For the past few years, the organizers of the Japan Home Show have been targeting the hospitality industry with a new zone for interior fixtures. This is of course because of the rush to build and refurbish hotels and resorts to accommodate the growing number of inbound travelers. Last year almost 30 million people visited Japan and this number is expected to grow to 40 million annual visitors by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics so there is a great need to expand Japan’s tourism infrastructure.
