Connections Luxury, a private community for professionals in high-end travel, is set to host its first Asia Pacific event in Tokyo this October, in partnership with the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Taking place 5–8 October 2025, the inaugural Connections Luxury Asia Pacific will bring together more than 120 senior decision-makers, including luxury travel suppliers from around the world and top travel agencies representing high-net-worth clients across Asia Pacific.
Buyer places have sold out, illustrating a clear appetite among the region’s top travel agencies to deepen relationships with high-end travel brands. With demand for long-haul travel and personalised experiences on the rise, the event also reflects the strategic importance of Asia Pacific as a key growth region for luxury tourism.
Networking receptions and shared cultural activities will take place at premium venues including JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo, Fairmont Tokyo and Happo-En. Buyers will be hosted at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu and Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, with the welcome reception held at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu.
Kazuomi Yamashita, director of the tourist promotion department at TCVB, said: “We are delighted that the inaugural Connections Luxury Asia Pacific 2025 will be held in Tokyo. According to a 2023 survey conducted by the Japan National Tourism Organisation, travellers from the main areas of the Asia Pacific region account for around 70% of the total number of travellers in the luxury tourism market to Japan. In a market with many repeat visitors, it is essential to showcase Tokyo’s constantly evolving appeal and new experiences. We believe that holding an event like this in Tokyo is truly invaluable.”
Gregory Reeves, managing director of Connections Luxury, added: “Asia Pacific has become one of the hottest regions for luxury travel growth worldwide. Bringing our first dedicated event to this community in Tokyo feels like a real turning point for Connections Luxury – we couldn’t be more excited. With the Asia Pacific luxury travel market estimated at US $270bn in 2023 and projected to grow at an 8.6% CAGR through to 2030, it’s clear this is a momentous opportunity.”
