My name is Takashi Takei, and I have been appointed President and CEO of TOKYU HOTELS & RESORTS CO., LTD.
As the long winter caused by the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end and the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan continues to increase, the world situation is facing chaotic and unstable conditions, including regional conflicts and competition between major powers. As the world becomes more chaotic and the future becomes more uncertain, hotels, and TOKYU HOTELS in particular, have been entrusted with this important role at a time when they are being forced to make important decisions about what strategy they should choose.
What can a hotel do for the world? We will return to the origins of this strategy and take on the challenge of innovation.
We want the hotel to be more than just a place to stay, dine, and gather; we want it to develop into a base for co-designing towns and regions, and a destination for travel and events.
We operate a wide range of hotel brands in attractive locations across Japan, from major cities such as SHIBUYA, a global travel destination, to resorts surrounded by nature.
Each hotel will foster a corporate culture of "enjoying change and challenges with a smile," while promoting the creation of hotels and towns that will become destinations for travel and events that can withstand the changes of the environment.
We look forward to your continued support and cooperation in the future.
