This labor day week, PRIDE Travel’s owners Marc R Kassouf CEO and S Nathan DePetris COO, are scheduled to depart on an invitation-only journey to Japan. The company received an invitation from the Japan National Tourist Organization (JNTO) to participate in a 6 Day tour of the Kanto region around Tokyo offered by the number one US tour operator to Japan, Supernet Tour’s all inclusive escorted company, Super Value Tours. As a Yokoso Japan certified agency, PRIDE Travel is one of only a handful of agencies recognized by the JNTO as ambassadors of Japan’s cultural, leisure, and travel offerings. The tour will embark from Los Angeles International Airport to Tokyo’s famed Narita via Singapore Airlines non-stop service. Sightseeing and cultural stops include Tokyo Bay, spectacular Kamakura with its rich heritage, Hakone National Park at the foot of Mount Fuji, tours of Tokyo, nearby Odawara Castle, the Imperial Palace, and bustling nightlife of Shinjuku. Highlights will include authentic meals featuring various styles of traditional cuisine, a one-night ocean view stay at an Onsen hot springs bath hotel in Atami, visits to the famous Daibatsu Buddha statue, and a bridge-tunnel ride under and over Tokyo Bay. Daily blog postings will be added to PRIDE Travel’s blog at blog.pridetravelonline.com with corresponding photos placed on the company’s Facebook page. Read the rest of this entry »
