Why this workshop and what will you learn
The fascinating and exotic appeal from Japan is partially due to the fact that the culture, language, food, nature, scenery and climate are all vastly different from what we know in Belgium and the Netherlands. Because of these big differences it is important that you have a professional understanding in all key aspects of a trip in Japan.
This workshop offers insights to assess the commercial offers and packages and practical tools when guiding journeys to Japan.
