• From September 16 to 21, Turismo de Galicia will bring the community to the Osaka Expo.

Galicia will be one of the protagonists of the Osaka World Expo, an event that will bring together countries from around the world from April 13 to October 13, 2025, to address global challenges and promote innovation and sustainability.

As part of this international event, the Galician community will have its own week within the Spanish Pavilion, scheduled from September 16 to 21. During these days, the tourism, cultural, and gastronomic potential of Galicia will be showcased through concerts and food tastings that will bring the most representative flavors and sounds of the region to the Japanese public.

Participation in the Osaka Expo, promoted by Turismo de Galicia, represents a great opportunity to strengthen Galicia’s presence in the Japanese market, which has shown growing interest in the destination in recent years. In 2024, more than 10,800 Japanese tourists visited Galicia, accumulating 16,500 overnight stays, representing a 5% increase over the previous year. Furthermore, the Camino de Santiago continues to gain popularity in Japan, with 1,473 Compostela permits issued in 2024, an 8.4% increase compared to 2023.

By participating in this global event, Galicia seeks to strengthen its position in international tourism and continue consolidating its position as an attractive destination for travelers seeking culture, nature, and authenticity.
