Vacation Niseko has a strong international presence for when the pandemic subsides
Landmark View one of their existing properties is always full in the summer with a mix of long & short stays.
We could not be more thrilled to be engaging their team to drive all-year-round occupancy for our Property.
The partnership means that unlike before we will have a far better grasp on what is required to fill our apartments. This summer we have seen first hand that there are appetite and potential from the domestic Japanese and if we can build on this until international tourism commences again then we will have the best of both worlds with SnowDog Village our boutique apartment hotel with year-round occupancy which has always been our goal.
Together we can achieve this!
