Key Initiative Themes
Creation and Enhancement Support for Tours and Experience Based Content
We support the creation and enhancement of experience based content that satisfies international visitors based on our knowledge gained from planning and operating our own tours. We focus on creating tours that sell well and actually satisfy customers, rather than just desk-based planning.
Guide Development
We propose and implement training curricula, as well as support the development of guides from recruitment to creating opportunities for them to shine in the coming years. This is one of Compass Corp’s core strengths.
Promotion Support (OTA Utilization/Review Management/Article Advertising)
We implement cost-effective sales promotion methods learned through trial and error in selling our own tours. We also support media and influencer recruitment, focusing on building a foundation for ongoing customer acquisition.
Monitor Tour Implementation
We plan and conduct monitor tours tailored to various purposes. By linking these tours to content enhancement, guide development, and the accumulation of reviews, we support the implementation of more effective monitor tours.
