■ Characteristics of our Baidu promotions
The characteristics of our Baidu promotions include Japan-based operation with careful reporting and “ Our Baidu Promotion features a hybrid approach of “Japan-based operation with careful reporting” and “China-based operation with on-site research, overseas advertising proposals, and actual operation by members in Beijing, Chengdu, Changchun, Shanghai, and other locations in China. The two are a hybrid of the two.

Overseas listings are “language advertising, It is essential to be familiar with local customs, lifestyles, and phrases. Therefore, the actual operation of overseas listings is based on “long-term and current staff” living in China. For this reason, we insist that actual overseas listings are managed by “staff who have lived in China for a long period of time and still live there.

Our oldest Chinese office opened in 2002, and over the past 20 years we have built up a cooperative system with our offices in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo) and China.
By taking full advantage of the unique characteristics of each office, we have been able to provide Baidu promotions to many advertisers, both new and existing, in 2022.

■Background of the increasing number of companies engaging in China promotion and future initiatives
Baidu advertising is one of the most appropriate means to create awareness in the Chinese market, and is also used to promote inbound tourism to Japan for this purpose.
According to a February 15 announcement by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of foreign visitors to Japan in January reached 1,497,300, up 55.7% from the same month in 2019, with the number of visitors from East Asian markets in particular exceeding 1 million.
China, which was the largest market before the Corona disaster, saw only 31,200 visitors, down 95.9% from the same month of 2019, due to continued restrictions on overseas travel to Japan and entry upon return, as well as water border controls on the Japanese side. On the other hand, the number of inquiries about our promotional activities in China has been on the increase since last fall.

According to the Japan Tourism Agency’s survey on foreign visitor spending trends released on January 18, 2022 for the October-December period, travel spending per foreign visitor to Japan (general visitors) was 212,332 yen, a 24.6% increase over the same period in 2019, indicating an upward trend in travel spending after the Corona disaster.
Before the recovery of visitors from China, which used to be the largest market for travel to Japan and travel spending, we are working with companies, government agencies, and tourism-related organizations that are implementing measures to promote and increase awareness of tourist attractions, facilities, services, and products to potential users in mainland China and to be chosen as a travel destination in the days to come. Baidu is the largest search engine in China, and we will provide full support to advertisers in China and Japan to facilitate their promotional activities to consumers in mainland China.
