*LOOK JTB Long Vacationfor Hawaii will be on sale first

JTB World Vacations will begin selling a new LOOK JTB product "Long Vacation" for departures in March next year in this coming December. With the new product, JTB will propose slow and relaxed itineraries. The first destination for the product is Hawaii, and then JTBwill extend destinations for the product to Europe and North America from the first half of FY2006.

JTB explains the Long Vacation product concept: "It is not a living-like travel, and neither is a free FIT travel, but it is for travelerswho seek just comfortable and long vacation." The main target is a female traveler segment. Since a conventional package tour provides an itinerary and travel days in advance, you has to adjust your own convenience to the provided itinerary. To improve customer-oriented services, JTB will propose a new travel style for you to spend slow times at your own pace in your favorite city.
