Hello Kitty to be appointed Japan’s tourism ambassador on Monday.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will announce the appointment on Monday, Kyodo said at the weekend, quoting ministry officials.
It will mark the first time a cartoon character has become a goodwill ambassador for Japan under the government’s campaign launched in 2003 to promote visits to the country, it said.
Under its “Visit Japan Campaign” to attract foreigners, the government hopes to attract 10 million overseas tourists annually by 2010, up from 8.35 million last year.
