MAYFLOWER Acme Tours last week launched a Japanese-themed travel kiosk and merchandise retail outlet at The Pavilion mall in Kuala Lumpur.
Mayflower is one of the tenants adopting the Nakamise kiosk concept at the Tokyo Street section on the sixth floor of the mall. Nakamise is a centuries-old shopping street providing visitors with snacks and souvenirs.
Mayflower brand & marketing head, Aliyah Alisha Soo, said: “Primarily targeted at the Japanese expatriate and residents’ market in Malaysia, this travel kiosk has adopted the Japanese Nakamise design. Any visitor will get the feeling they are in Tokyo Street, Japan.”
“All our staff here wear the Yukata (Japanese garment) as part of their uniform,” she added.
Products tailored for the Japanese market include Mayflower’s high-end Heavenly Vacations in Malaysia packages. Travel-related merchandise like aircraft miniatures and made-in-Japan suitcases are also available.
