With the start of vaccination against the new coronavirus for the elderly, there is a growing movement among major travel agencies to entrust administrative work such as accepting reservations and operating vaccination venues from local governments.
Of these, "Nippon Travel Agency" is entrusted with vaccination-related affairs from approximately 60 municipalities nationwide.
From next month, we will be responsible for operating a call center that accepts inquiries from residents and reservations for vaccinations, building a system that accepts reservations via the Internet, and operating venues for group vaccinations.
At this company, while travel demand has fallen sharply due to the effects of the new coronavirus, we believe that we can utilize the know-how of accepting and managing reservations, call centers and tour operator service, which we have done in our daily work, for vaccination work. We are entrusted with office work from local governments that have contact with us in arranging school trips.
Koji Okamoto, General Manager of Nippon Travel Agency West Japan Sales Headquarters, said, "The vaccination business has many parts that are familiar to the work of the travel industry. I hope that the vaccination business will be completed quickly and we will be able to help you enjoy your trip as soon as possible. I was talking.
At a major travel agency, JTB is entrusted with vaccination affairs from multiple local governments such as Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, and Kinki Nippon Tourist is also entrusted with vaccination-related affairs from multiple local governments.
