1:OUR NEW BUSINESS: PHOTOCATALYST

We, Hankyu Travel DMC Japan, have just started to work on a photocatalyst coating construction service as a new business. We believe that this business may contribute to creating a safe and secure environment for both travelers who go on a trip and our suppliers who welcome those.
Photocatalytic coating is one of the countermeasures against infectious diseases in which titanium oxide, which is a raw material, reacts with sunlight or even with indoor light, to oxidize organic substances, such as viruses and germs, and neutralize them.
We propose this business mainly to our suppliers, such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, etc. For sales promotions & making offers on this business, we are working by ourselves, mostly by managers. Moreover, the construction on site will be done by trained employees from our department.
At the beginning, we have tried doorknobs, inside the toilet, buttons on elevators, & etc. in our offices, as well as our owned luxury bus in order to gain construction experience and to improve our skills.
We will do our best every day, hoping that a safe & a secure environment should be set up quickly in this business industry and that travel can be resumed.
