The Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute (JTTRI) is an independent,non-profit organization founded in 1968 as an affiliated organization of theMinistry of Transport (now Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport andTourism) with the support of government, industry and academia. For over 50years since its foundation, JTTRI has contributed to the development of theadministration, business, and industries of transport and tourism and theprogress of academic research in these fields, through surveys and research,policy proposals, holding of seminars and symposiums, dissemination andprovision of information on important issues of the time, consulting business(entrusted research), and publishing of books, while maintaining close relationswith the Japanese government, transport and tourism industries, and academicsocieties.
As conditions in the world rapidly become more fluid, we face increasing uncertainty. In particular,the environment surrounding the economy and society is changing drastically due to the progress ofdigital technology, the current COVID-19 pandemic, etc. JTTRI is always aware of the purpose forwhich it was established, “bridging academic research and practical demands”, and conductsactivities that effectively address not only the challenges facing modern society but also futurechallenges, aiming to achieve results that are both “useful for specific locations and situations” and“useful for the world”. In addition, JTTRI is expanding and strengthening its international activitiesand cooperation with governments and government-related organizations, transport and tourismindustries and academic societies over a wide area including ASEAN and India, as well as NorthAmerica across the Pacific Ocean.
