Club California Japan

Club California is an international training series and educational platform designed to engage and motivate travel advisors and tour operators to develop and sell California product. Participating partners receive dedicated opportunities to address international audiences directly or through in-market representation. Programs are cost effective, giving California partners of all sizes an opportunity to increase international business.

Seminars are held in California’s highest spending international markets where travel advisors influence consumer booking decisions. Advisor education is a proven pillar of travel trade marketing, as it builds familiarity and trust. Advisors are much less likely to risk their reputation with their clients by booking unfamiliar destinations — and overseas advisors may simply not know about many of California’s hidden gems.

Club California Japan events will be hosted in Tokyo and Osaka for frontline and wholesale leisure travel advisors. The objective is to educate advisors on the depth and diversity of the state and reinforce the state’s status as The Ultimate Playground.
