Selection Criteria and Key Pillars of Evaluation

In the "Top 100" category, Luxurique advanced to the semi-finals out of 1,445 international nominees worldwide. Following a subsequent comprehensive evaluation, Luxurique was selected for the "Top 100"—positioning the company as a leading global brand.

To ensure credibility, the Luxury Lifestyle Awards replaces traditional judging panels with dedicated research specialists. This team individually evaluates each nominee by analyzing submitted assessment forms, press materials, and publicly available online data, including media coverage, industry reputation, social media, and market trends.

Through this objective process, Luxurique was recognized for meeting the international "Standard of Excellence" in Japanese tourism and cultural promotion, driven by three core pillars:

• Outstanding Service

Now in its second year, the "Top 100 Travel Agencies & Tour Operators" category has become highly competitive, with only 10 to 15 companies annually reaching the final selection. Ranking in this exclusive program serves as recognition of quality within the global luxury travel market.

This recognition reflects the company's track record of adapting Japan’s cultural heritage for international luxury markets, contributing to the country's global branding.
