LIYITRIP JOURNAL · FROM HOKKAIDO TO THE WORLD
Singapore · Singapore EXPO | 21–23 August 2026
Bringing Hokkaido's winter to Singapore
LIYITRIP exhibited alongside Hokkaido Tourism Organization at NATAS Holidays 2026, held from 21 to 23 August at Singapore EXPO. Our Sapporo-based team introduced visitors from Singapore and Southeast Asia to Hokkaido's powder snow, ski resorts and winter travel experiences.
Organized by the National Association of Travel Agents Singapore (NATAS), the consumer travel fair took place in Halls 3B, 4 and 5. For LIYITRIP, it was an opportunity to meet travelers in person and share practical advice on planning a ski holiday in Hokkaido.


Local knowledge, from planning to the slopes
Based in Sapporo, LIYITRIP specializes in travel to Japan, Hokkaido ski holidays and tailored itineraries. At the Hokkaido booth, we presented the region's ski seasons, powder-snow conditions and resort options, with ideas for first-time skiers, families and travelers seeking a private experience.
Our services bring together local operations, transport arrangements, equipment support and instructor resources. Visitors could explore the following options according to their travel plans:
- Resort selection, transfers, and ski or snowboard equipment.
- Lessons with internationally certified instructors and Chinese- or English-language support.
- Travel insurance and photography arrangements.
- Private itineraries shaped around individual interests and requirements.

Practical questions, personal conversations
Throughout the three-day event, our team spoke with visitors about choosing a resort, getting started with lessons, instructor languages, equipment preparation, transport and safety arrangements. These conversations helped travelers understand the details behind a winter holiday, from their first lesson to a more personalized trip.
There was particular interest in Hokkaido's powder snow, Chinese- and English-language instruction, coordinated ski packages and private itineraries. Hearing directly from visitors also gave us a clearer picture of the information and support they look for when planning a trip.





Sharing the experience beyond the itinerary
During the Hokkaido skiing presentation, we introduced the region's winter appeal and LIYITRIP's services. A prize draw added to the atmosphere and gave visitors another way to take part.
Japanese omamori charms were also offered as keepsakes at the booth and warmly received. Alongside the presentations, these exchanges made space for more relaxed conversations about Hokkaido and the winter experiences visitors hoped to enjoy.








Looking ahead to the snow season
Our conversations at NATAS highlighted an interest in winter travel that goes beyond sightseeing. Visitors were looking for ski experiences supported by clear information, thoughtful safety planning, convenient arrangements and room for personal preferences.
With Hokkaido's snow season approaching, we look forward to helping more travelers discover the region through experiences suited to their ability, interests and travel style.
Thank you to Hokkaido Tourism Organization, the NATAS organizers, our partners and everyone who visited the booth or followed LIYITRIP during the event.
The fair has come to a close. We look forward to seeing you next on the snow in Hokkaido.
