Japan continues to be one of the most in-demand destinations for Canadian travellers. But for clients travelling all the way to Asia, why stop at just one destination?
Japan World Tours is making it easier for travel advisors to add another dimension to a Japan itinerary with Japan+ Hong Kong — a new campaign combining two of Asia’s most exciting destinations into one seamless journey.
The idea is simple: More Culture. More Flavour. More Asia.
Japan and Hong Kong offer very different experiences, yet they complement each other remarkably well. Japan brings centuries-old traditions, temples and gardens, regional cuisine, onsen towns and a unique mix of ancient and contemporary culture. Hong Kong adds another layer – a fast-paced harbour city where Cantonese heritage, neighbourhood markets, Michelin-starred dining, hiking trails, rooftop bars and one of Asia’s great skylines come together.
For travel advisors, the combination creates an easy opportunity to turn a Japan vacation into a broader Asian experience — without making the trip complicated to book.
Two Destinations. One Seamless Booking Solution.
Through Japan World Tours, travel advisors can build Japan and Hong Kong into a single itinerary, with one partner coordinating the ground arrangements across both destinations.
Instead of sourcing separate suppliers and piecing together two independent trips, advisors can offer clients a coordinated Japan+ Hong Kong journey — from hotels and transfers to sightseeing and local experiences.
The logistics also make sense.
Hong Kong is exceptionally well connected with Japan, with nonstop services linking Hong Kong with major gateways including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sapporo, as well as additional Japanese cities. That makes Hong Kong an easy addition either before or after a Japan itinerary, whether clients have just a few extra nights or want to build a more substantial two-destination holiday.
To make the concept even easier to sell, Japan World Tours is highlighting three Hong Kong offers that can be added to a Japan booking.
1. Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival – and an Autumn of Flavour
For food-focused travellers, this is one of the most natural Japan+ Hong Kong combinations – and late October through November offers even more reasons to extend a Japan journey into Hong Kong.
October brings Halloween in Hong Kong, with the city embracing the celebrations in its own energetic style. The nightlife districts of Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo in Central are particularly popular for Halloween parties, costumes and celebrations, while Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park offer their own themed Halloween experiences — giving advisors options for couples, younger travellers and families alike.
The celebrations lead directly into the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, taking place from October 29 to November 1, 2026. The Central Harbourfront transforms into a celebration of food, wine and entertainment, framed by the lights of Victoria Harbour. Visitors can discover wines from around the world alongside Hong Kong and international cuisine, tastings and live performances.
And the culinary experience does not end when the festival closes. Throughout November Gourmet Month, Hong Kong extends the celebration across the city with a full month dedicated to dining, featuring special menus, culinary experiences and offers at restaurants, bars and hotels.
Combine autumn in Japan — one of the country’s most popular travel seasons — with several nights in Hong Kong and advisors can create a journey that moves naturally from Japan’s autumn colours and seasonal cuisine to Halloween celebrations, the Wine & Dine Festival and an entire month of Hong Kong flavours.
Ideal for: food and wine travellers, couples, repeat visitors to Asia and small groups.
2. Hong Kong Chinese New Year Celebrations
Japan followed by Hong Kong during Chinese New Year offers travellers two very different cultural experiences in one journey.
Hong Kong comes alive during the Lunar New Year period with colourful decorations, festive dining, temple visits and celebrations throughout the city. The International Chinese New Year Night Parade is tentatively scheduled for February 6, 2027, adding another major event around which advisors can build a winter Asia itinerary.
Clients can experience Japan’s winter landscapes, onsen and seasonal cuisine before continuing to Hong Kong for the energy and traditions of Lunar New Year.
Ideal for: cultural travellers, photographers, families and clients looking for a special-event departure.
3. Hong Kong Stopover — Anytime
Hong Kong does not need a festival to be worth the stop.
Adding three or four nights in Hong Kong to virtually any Japan itinerary gives travellers enough time to experience Victoria Harbour, neighbourhoods such as Central and Sham Shui Po, traditional markets, temples, dim sum, contemporary dining and some of the surprisingly accessible nature beyond the city centre.
It is an easy upsell that adds variety without requiring another long-haul journey.
Ideal for: virtually any Japan client who has a few extra days and wants to experience more of Asia.
More Asia, Made Easier
For travel advisors, Japan+ Hong Kong is not about making an itinerary longer simply for the sake of it. It is about giving clients more contrast, more culture and more flavour from one trip to Asia.
Japan may be the reason they start planning the journey.
Hong Kong can be the reason they come home talking about two unforgettable destinations instead of one.
Japan+ Hong Kong. More Culture. More Flavour. More Asia.
