This Summer, the luxurious Genting Dream will burst into vibrant colors and festive cheers as Dream Cruises, Asia’s first luxury cruise line, kicks off a grand “Okinawa Festival” exclusively for families cruising from Hong Kong to Japan on 5 May – 16 June.
From the moment they step on board, guests can immediately experience the warmth of Japanese hospitality as they are welcomed by no other than Okinawa mascot Mahae-chan and Dream Cruises’ kimono-dressed crew. Surrounded by hibiscus flower decorations and unique Ryukyu arts and crafts across the ship, guests are then transported into the scenic world and rich heritage of Okinawa.

With Februaryâs termination of government employment subsidies, which also partially support furlough allowances, Okinawa Prefecture is expected to face a “March Crisis” â a situation in which tourism industry workers face substantial layoffs.
“Okinawan tourism will definitely recover in two or three years. It is hard to find a reason against it,” said Kenji Sugimoto, president of JTB Okinawa Corp.
However, if many lose their jobs due to the impact of COVID-19, the local industry will face labor shortages when the economy recovers. Sugimoto is therefore proposing an emergency system through which workers are temporarily seconded to companies so that they can return to their jobs once the economy is back on its feet.
