30 of Australia’s top selling travel agents have begun the snow trip of a lifetime, departing Australia on Thursday the 20th of February for Sno’n’Ski Holidays Japan Mega Famil.

While it’s the fourth year Sno’n’Ski have hosted a Mega Famil, 2020 will be the first-time participants will explore Japan! With high demand for the coveted spots, this trip will run in addition to the annual North America Mega Fam. which means there are a total of 60 top selling ski experts, who have qualified from agencies across Australia this year.

Sno’n’Ski General Manager, Daniel Walker said, “Japan is still showing consistent growth in popularity for the local ski market and we wanted to ensure that agents got a chance to experience this increasingly popular region firsthand.”

During their eight-night ski trip, agents will experience 4 ski resorts in Japan – including Appi and Shizukuishi in the Tohoku region, as well as Shiga Kogen and Hakuba in the Nagano Prefecture.

Each stop will offer a unique experience to ensure these top-selling agents have an unforgettable adventure – from exploring quaint mountain villages to dining on traditional Japanese cuisine such as wanko soba in Iwate Prefecture, relaxing in local onsen (hot springs) and visiting Nagano’s famous snow monkeys.

As they do with all Mega Famil itineraries, Sno’n’Ski Holidays advised the focus will be on learning through immersing agents in the experience and not involve days of lengthy site inspections. Partnering with Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the Mega Famil will provide the participants with valuable local insights and informative cultural experiences, heightening their understanding of Japan and its distinct attractions.

 “Aussie travellers are seeking snow holidays which incorporate not just great snow, but unique experiences and cultural immersion. With this in mind, we have created a balanced famil itinerary, which showcases the diversity available when taking a Japan snow trip,” said Walker.

He added, “The itinerary has been carefully curated, with representatives from JNTO assisting in putting together an inclusive JaPow experience.”

“This trip will provide the attending agents with invaluable firsthand knowledge of the still relatively unknown Tohoku region and give the participants special insight into selling this up-and-coming destination.”

JNTO Executive Director, Yoko Tanaka said, “We are excited to partner with Sno’n’Ski on their first ever Japan Mega Famil. The Tohoku region is still relatively lesser known, and I’m sure that once these agents experience this beautiful area of Japan, they will see why it should be on everyone’s radar.”
