“Passion for travel remains undimmed”
Shigeyuki Tomomatsu, vice president of Product Line Development and Digital Acquisition for Japan, commented:
“American Express and Hilton share a deep commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience and are honoured to bring this experience to Card Members in Japan for the first time.
“Even in such an uncertain period, we believe passion for travel remains undimmed and how we are spending time at a destination will become more important.
“At a time when we aspire for the future travel, we will work together to back customers in Japan and offer a host of unique experiences at Hilton properties nationwide and, once the pandemic has eased, around the world.”
The cards are for both frequent and occasional travellers
Alan Watts, president of Asia Pacific at Hilton, said:
“We are excited to build on our longstanding partnership with American Express to provide residents of Japan differentiated Card offerings to elevate their Hilton experience.
“These Cards are designed with both frequent and occasional travellers in mind, whether they are looking for a short stay near home or are saving up for an overseas trip, once they feel it is safe to do so.”
