SINGAPORE, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau (OCTB)'s latest Kansai Airport Exit Survey 2025: Interim Report found that Klook is the most-used platform among international travelers booking paid tours and activities during their stay in Japan.
42.1% of respondents indicated that they booked via Klook, tripling the next player on the list.
The finding draws on data from 2,228 respondents collected over two survey waves conducted between May and September 2025. Interim results were published in October 2025.
This survey is part of OCTB's ongoing efforts to understand inbound tourists' behavior in Japan — including how and where they book their activities — in order to identify effective ways to market Osaka's attractions to different types of visitors. It also explores key factors influencing satisfaction, repeat intention, and spending behavior.
"Understanding where visitors book their activities helps us connect this information with insights from our surveys, such as traveler profiles and motivations," says Hiroki Makita, General Manager, Marketing Strategy Department, OCTB. "This enables us to better understand different customer segments and identify effective ways to promote Osaka's attractions to a broader audience, supporting our wider-area tourism goals."
The data serves as a foundational resource for tourism stakeholders in Osaka, including local governments and tourism-related businesses, providing an overview of the current state of tourism in the city and supporting future strategy development.
"Our latest results show that Klook has a particularly strong presence in activity ticket sales," says Makita-san. "By working with Klook and other online travel agents, we aim to expand exposure for experiences across Osaka's municipalities and inspire more visitors to explore the many sides of Osaka."
And Klook has played a pivotal role in inspiring visitors to explore Osaka.
The city's defining event this year, Expo 2025, runs from April to October 2025, coinciding with OCTB's survey window.
During that period, Klook recorded close to 40% year-on-year increase in average daily gross bookings, indicating that travelers who came for Expo 2025 also booked additional experiences through Klook.
These travelers were also more likely to book JR Passes, Shinkansen trips, and regional attractions like Osaka e-pass and Have Fun in Kansai Pass to maximize their stay.
"We are honored that Klook is the leading platform among international travelers booking paid tours and activities in Japan, and outperforming other providers by a significant margin too," says Wataru Masuda, General Manager at Klook Japan. "This recognition reaffirms our commitment to making it easy for everyone to enjoy the best of each destination. Working closely with partners, like the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau, definitely helps us design experiences that bring value to both travelers and local communities."
In August 2025, Klook partnered with the Hiroshima Tourism Association (HIT) to bring 112 content creators from 20 markets to experience and showcase Hiroshima. The campaign achieved a sustained digital reach of over 59.5 million and 28.5 million social impressions, amplifying Hiroshima's appeal to global travelers.
Klook is also one of only three online travel agencies partnering with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) to drive tourism dispersal by promoting lesser-visited destinations of Japan to Asia-based travelers.

BEIJING, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi has officially unveiled its LONGi ONE integrated solar-plus-storage strategy, marking a transition from traditional multi-vendor architectures to a unified system design.
A Shift from Fragmentation to Integration
As solar energy establishes itself as a core pillar of the global energy system, conventional "assembled" solutions are increasingly constrained by efficiency losses, complex commissioning, and unclear accountability. LONGi ONE addresses these challenges through full-stack, self-developed native integration, combining advanced BC solar technology with 5S storage technology to deliver a unified, high-performance "Solar Generator."
One System, One Platform, One Responsibility
LONGi ONE is built upon three core principles: One System, One Platform, and One Responsibility.
Its natively integrated architecture reduces system losses, enhances performance, and shortens deployment timelines. The AI-driven platform enables coordinated optimization across generation, storage, and consumption.
Equally important, the One Responsibility principle redefines accountability in solar-storage systems. Instead of managing multiple vendors, customers work with a single partner—LONGi—across the entire lifecycle. This eliminates fragmented interfaces, avoids responsibility gaps, and ensures faster issue resolution with clear ownership.
A Comprehensive Product Portfolio
LONGi ONE delivers tailored solutions for two key market segments: utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.
For utility-scale projects, OneBank 2.0 offers a fully integrated AC/DC storage solution featuring advanced safety design. Its proprietary iCCS technology enables millisecond-scale fault detection and isolation, reducing system-level failure rates by 60% and cutting pre-commissioning time by over 30%.
OneMatrix 2.0 provides a flexible, modular approach for plant-level deployment, supporting multiple duration scenarios (2h/4h/8h) while reducing deployment time by 20-30% and lowering lifecycle costs.
For C&I users, Hi-MO One—paired with the EnergyOne platform—delivers 24.8% module efficiency and up to 90.3% system efficiency. With response times under 20 ms and AI-driven energy management, it enables intelligent operation and optimized returns.
Global Service Network Expansion
LONGi has also launched its "2830 Plan," which aims to establish 30 localized service centers across key global markets by 2028.
Supported by 13 GWh of delivery experience across over 120 countries, this network will provide end-to-end lifecycle services, ensuring rapid, localized support worldwide.
Toward the Solar Generator Era
From monocrystalline to BC technology, and from PV to storage, LONGi remains committed to translating innovation into customer value. With LONGi ONE, the company aims to redefine solar energy as a stable and intelligent "Solar Generator"—supporting the next phase of the global energy transition.
