Since becoming a subsidiary of travel agency HIS in April, the Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture resort Huis ten Bosch has achieved a recovery in both admissions and sales in the first half of the current fiscal year. They’ve been particularly successful in attracting middle-aged and elderly customers, which had been their weakness, by sponsoring such events as the Gardening World Cup. Merchandise and eating and drinking place sales are climbing as a result. They posted a 17.2% year-on-year rise in admissions and a 4% increase in revenue during the first half.
