JAOS-JATA (Japan Association of Travel Agents) Committee of Homestay Tour Programs (CIEL) Joint Seminar (Held in conjunction with the Kokumin Seikatsu Center (National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan)

December 5, 2001

at Zennitsu Kasumigaseki Bldg, in Tokyo

This seminar primarily focused on reviewing the newly revised “New Consumer Contract Act” from JAOS’ perspective. Through the guidance of a legal expert, JAOS’ understanding of the Act was significantly deepened. In addition, the seminar proved to be successful in that it gave members of JAOS and travel agents of JATA an opportunity to cooperatively review travels laws and create a basis for better future collaboration. It is noteworthy is that Dr. Koichi Hosokawa from National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan commented that Japan’s significant trend towards administrative deregulation reflected (was underpinned by) the expectations of self-imposed restriction within the industry. Because this is exactly what JAOS is aspiring to, the seminar was quite encouraging to us.
