Staff from airlines operating at Kobe Airport and “Sorayan,” the official character of the Kansai Airport Group, are also scheduled to participate. This is a chance to ask questions or express interest in work directly to them.
The person in charge of the event says, “Why don’t you take this opportunity to make memories of your summer vacation in a precious area that you cannot usually enter? The staff in charge of the event is calling for visitors to take this opportunity to make memories of their summer vacation in this rare area.
