3T GDS Partners with Japan’s Leading Ticketing Platform Japanticket to Capture Expanding Sales Opportunities Across the Asia-Pacific

[Taipei, November 10, 2025] — According to statistics from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), Japan welcomed approximately 28.38 million visitors in the first eight months of 2025, marking an 18.2% increase compared with the same period last year—reaching a new post-pandemic peak.

Taiwanese travelers remain one of Japan’s most loyal visitor groups, recording around 4.5 million trips to Japan over the same period, ranking alongside South Korea and China as one of the top three inbound markets. Based on data from Taiwan’s Tourism Administration, Taiwanese took 10.87 million outbound trips during the first seven months of 2025, with Japan accounting for 35.6%, reinforcing its position as Taiwan’s favorite travel destination in Asia.

Japan continues to thrive as a major destination for both domestic and international travelers. Beyond its diverse culture and landscapes, Japanese cuisine remains a global favorite. In today’s travel environment, visitors who do not pre-book hotels, restaurants, or theme park tickets often face long queues that diminish the travel experience. As a result, savvy travelers increasingly secure reservations in advance—a growing trend that serves as the core opportunity behind the partnership between 3T GDS and Japanticket.

In response to this market demand, 3T GDS today announced the official launch of an API integration partnership with Kabushiki Kaisha Japanticket, a platform specializing in inbound tourism and ticket management in Japan. Through this collaboration, Japanticket will introduce approximately 1,500 types of Japanese restaurant reservations, cultural experiences, and attraction tickets, directly connecting them to the 3T GDS cross-border distribution network for immediate listing across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mainland China, and Southeast Asian markets.

For travelers in Taiwan, users of online marketplaces and loyalty platforms integrated with 3T GDS—such as Everrich Members, Taiwan Mobile Members, Easy Wallet, and icash Pay—can conveniently purchase or redeem points for Japanese tickets domestically before departure.Upon arrival in Japan, travelers simply redeem their tickets using a QR code, avoiding foreign transaction fees and retaining purchase records. All processes are seamlessly powered by 3T GDS’s system integration, ensuring transactions are reliable, convenient, secure, and worry-free.

A Powerful Alliance to Build a New Cross-Border Travel Model in the Asia-Pacific

3T GDS Co-founder Chih-Ta Lin, who has been deeply involved in Taiwan’s trust-based voucher market since 2007, founded Ticket Go—the largest third-party voucher distributor in Taiwan.

3T GDS was co-founded by Lin and his high school classmate Eric Ko, establishing the company as a pioneering Taiwanese provider of Smart Vouchers and SaaS solutions. This partnership brings together the strengths of both companies—combining Japanticket’s rich local experiences and dining resources with 3T GDS’s extensive regional network—to broaden access to Japanese offerings for travelers across the Asia-Pacific. Looking ahead, both parties will continue expanding their collaborative initiatives to support Japan’s tourism operators in accelerating digital transformation while enhancing the convenience and travel experience for visitors from Taiwan and the greater Asia-Pacific region.

Currently offering approximately 250,000 e-voucher services worldwide, 3T GDS Co-founder Chih-Ta Lin stated: “Our vision is to enable consumers to purchase cross-border e-vouchers anytime, anywhere, through the platforms they trust—while enjoying a highly secure settlement experience.”

Since entering the Taiwan market in 2020, 3T GDS has connected a diverse network of suppliers—including convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart), restaurants, department store vouchers, transportation providers, amusement parks, and accommodation partners—while integrating distribution channels such as travel agencies, e-commerce platforms, banks, and e-wallets. These efforts have enabled a comprehensive one-stop ecosystem for cross-border e-voucher issuance, sales, settlement, and redemption.
