Support for participation in proposals (competitive bidding)

We provide support for proposals (competitive bidding) in the area of inbound tourism conducted by organizations, local governments, and DMOs in Japan, with staff who have experience participating in related projects.

1 What is a proposal (competitive bidding)?

This is a method in which proposals are submitted from a large number of companies according to a theme (specifications), and the company (organization) with the best proposal is awarded a contract in accordance with the screening criteria. Local governments, public offices, DMOs, and other organizations are involved in this program.
There are various forms of participation.

2 Role of the IntaSect

There are multiple forms of bid participation.

Bidding Participation Form Contents
Solo Participation Proposal participation by only one company.
Consortium A method in which multiple companies form a corporate consortium to propose and operate a proposal as a joint entity.
Participation of cooperating companies Although not a consortium, the company is involved in part of the proposal and operation as an outsourcing partner.

Proposal Participation Support will support bids from the standpoint of “consortium members” and “cooperating firms” as described above.

4 Examples of actual implementation

We have a number of accomplishments, but here is a sampling of some of them.

Case.01 Invitation of influencers in Japan and overseas, local attendance, and information dissemination

We managed the process of inviting influencers in Japan and overseas to the areas to be visited, including preparation of influencer candidate plans, itinerary plans, and explanatory materials for the proposals, coordination of revised itineraries and alternative influencer plans after receiving the contract, making appointments with accommodations and tourist facilities for each itinerary, attending to visitors from entry to departure from Japan, and information transmission after their return to their countries of origin. We also managed the process of information dissemination after returning to Japan. (Cooperating companies)

Case.02 Operation of advertisements directing viewers to special feature pages

In order to increase the number of visitors to and viewers of the regional feature pages and sightseeing videos produced by the contracted company, we planned, operated, and reported on the distribution of ads to attract visitors by segmenting users who were thought to be interested.
