TripAdvisor Partners Gurunavi to Enhance Culinary Experience for Travellers to Japan

TripAdvisor has partnered with one of Japan’s leading restaurant search sites, Gurunavi Inc. to provide global travellers with the ability to plan and book more restaurants when they visit the country.

Scheduled to go live in the first half of 2016, TripAdvisor’s global traveller community will be able to access the latest in restaurant information provided by Gurunavi’s extensive database of 500,000 outlets in Japan.

They will also be able to make restaurant reservations in English when they travel to Japan via a Gurunavi booking link.

Gurunavi will be able to activate the inbound travel market through TripAdvisor’s global reach – the travel site’s reviews, traveller photos and restaurant ratings will be available on Gurunavi.

Gurunavi will also add TripAdvisor’s accommodations meta-search function to its own Japanese travel sites, “Surf & Snow” and “Gurutabi”, enabling domestic travellers to better plan, compare and book their holidays in Japan.

Tsutomu Motomura, Gurunavi’s Managing Executive Officer, said, “We are dedicated to providing services with high usability so that our users can enjoy great gastronomic experiences in Japan. With the partnership with TripAdvisor, we are very pleased to be able to provide accurate and detailed restaurant information to travelers all over the world and introduce them to the allure of Japanese food.”
