Not on the executive shortlist
It was not selected for the 28-company executive shortlist.
Why it matters
Scoring rationale
JNTO explicitly supports the travel industry through overseas offices, trade resources, DMC/ground-handler directories, statistics, training content and MICE/incentive support. For Shahraah, it can help build Japan product and identify reliable local partners, but it is not inventory.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
Strategic Japan destination-development partner and source of qualified ground-handler information.
Risks and blockers
Main blocker
Identify the office responsible for Pakistan, ask for trade training, DMC/ground-handler introductions, FAM trips, Muslim-friendly/Japan product resources, MICE support and Pakistan-market campaigns.
