The 2023-2028 Outlook for Travel Arrangement and Reservation Services in Japan

This study covers the latent demand outlook for travel arrangement and reservation services across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of its prefecture and of Japan as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for travel arrangement and reservation services. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study covers travel arrangement and reservation services as defined by the North American Industrial Classification system or NAICS (pronounced "nakes"). The NAICS code for travel arrangement and reservation services is 5615. It is for this definition that aggregate latent demand estimates are derived.
