Monaco, a small nation shining on the Mediterranean Sea, continues to attract visitors with its magnificent scenery and safe, high-quality infrastructure. We are striving to improve the services of our hotels, restaurants, convention facilities, and other facilities, and are working to provide a unique experience for both business and leisure travelers. In Monaco, you can feel the harmony of history and innovation through tourism resources such as the Prince’s Palace, the Oceanographic Museum, the casino, and a stroll along the F1 city course. At the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, we will exhibit the Monaco Pavilion under the theme of “Take Care of Wonder”, and widely introduce our efforts in environmental protection. We hope that visitors will take this opportunity to deepen their interest in Monaco and share their impressions with the world. Monaco is a destination full of light and joy, and we look forward to welcoming you.” In addition, the Monaco Tourist and Convention Bureau Director Guy Antonelli spoke about the current state of tourism in Monaco and its future prospects during the talk session as follows. “Japan is a very important market, as Monaco was the first in the world to establish a tourist office. In recent years, the number of visitors to Japan temporarily decreased due to the influence of international circumstances, but in May of this year, the number of visitors increased by 120% compared to the previous year. We will continue to implement various measures to ensure that this trend continues. Attractive events are held in Monaco throughout the year, and we expect that not only customers seeking luxury travel, but also business-related travel such as corporate training trips and international conferences will increase in the future. We look forward to welcoming Japanese people to Monaco.” Furthermore, Silvester, Director of the Monaco Tourist and Convention Board Japan Office, said the following: “The Monaco Pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo has been very well received, with many visitors saying things like, ‘The message of Monaco was conveyed,’ and ‘It really makes me want to go to Monaco.’ Amidst the glamour, the Principality is filled with a variety of elements that are characteristic of Monaco, such as history, innovation, and environmental initiatives, and wines carefully selected by the top sommelier of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo are also on offer. The exhibition is designed to allow visitors to experience the message that “protecting nature is protecting yourself” with all five senses, which deeply overlaps with the philosophy of “Responsible Luxury” that the Tourist Board has been promoting. Monaco is a place where you can realize the ideal of travel, such as fine food, safety, and a relaxing stay, and embodies the sustainable travel that will be required by the wealthy in the future. We will continue to work with the media and travel industry to bring the new charm and richness of Monaco to more people. ”
The Role of Monaco Tourist and Convention Bureau Monaco Tourist and Convention Bureau in Japan is promoting tourism on a global scale while utilizing the network of other overseas offices, and is working to stimulate travel demand to the Principality of Monaco (hereinafter Monaco). This global initiative, which began in 1995, has strengthened cooperation with business partners in the travel industry and has generated short-term, medium-term and long-term business. Although Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, the country has a wide range of specialized business and event and leisure tourism facilities. As a result of the promotion of tourism policies promoted by the Monaco government since the 1970s, the tourism industry has gradually increased. Today, business tourism accounts for more than 30% of the annual number of hotel rooms sold in Monaco. While keeping the concept of “Responsible Luxury” that has been in place since 2018, we have set “Like Nowhere Else, Monaco, an unparalleled beautiful country” as our tourism theme from 2023. Monaco is known as a country where wealthy people from all over the world gather, and we aim to not only allow tourists to enjoy the various facilities and services of Monaco, but also to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Towards this national goal, we are working with the government, tourist bureaus, hotels, and various other partners surrounding the tourism industry to optimize limited resources, actively engage in activities to protect the earth and oceans, promote innovation while preserving traditions, and continue to create innovative culture. We are carrying out various activities to ensure that Monaco is chosen as a travel destination. In addition, we are carrying out various activities to achieve the goal of increasing the number of travelers to Monaco, including stimulating business travel demand. For example, participating in specialized industry events for trade, raising awareness among partner tour operators and travel agencies, running promotional campaigns (educational tours, special promotions for travel agencies,
presentations on tourism initiatives, etc.) As a national project supported by the Monegasque Government, the Monaco Tourist and Convention Board Japan Office can provide a wide range of advice for business and leisure tourism projects.
