“I’m delighted to announce that our annual Retreat will be heading to Japan next year. I’ve been wanting to host this event there for several years, but the pandemic put those plans on pause. “As the country emerges from the pandemic, having only
recently fully opened its borders, there’s never been a better opportunity to showcase this very special place to the trade. This is going to be a trip of a lifetime. A huge thank you to our headline partners for working with us at Aspire to pull the event together.” Numerous suppliers have already confirmed their participation.
Atlantis The Royal, Carrier, Explora Journeys, Ikos and Sani Resorts, Oceania Cruises, One&Only and Silversea have signed up to attend, with more suppliers set to be announced in the coming weeks. Any supplier brands interested in attending should email
