Summary
The Hokkaido prefectural government has updated its dedicated Adventure Travel information portal, consolidating policies, guides and safety materials for a fast-growing tourism segment.
The Hokkaido prefectural government updated its Adventure Travel (AT) information portal in July 2026, consolidating policy documents, business support programmes, safety materials and event notices related to the region’s push into the global adventure travel market.
What the portal covers
The AT portal collects material on outdoor guide certification, AT-specific tourism policies and Hokkaido’s role as host of adventure travel-related events. It is designed both for operators and for prefectural stakeholders working on the sector’s development.
Why it matters
Since hosting the Adventure Travel World Summit in Sapporo in 2023, Hokkaido has positioned adventure travel as a strategic pillar of its post-2020 tourism recovery. A refreshed portal signals that the prefecture is treating AT as a permanent policy area, not a one-off promotional theme.
For international readers
Adventure travel typically means multi-day trips combining physical activity, cultural exchange and interaction with nature. Hokkaido has moved aggressively to brand itself internationally in this space through its own tourism organisation and government.
