Holding an information session on American baseball game tour with sign language interpretation
In July 2023, we held a travel information session for the "Los Angeles Baseball Tour" at our Shinjuku head office with sign language interpretation.
This tour is one of the most popular among sports watching tours, and since many of our customers come to the United States to watch a game, we not only provide basic travel information, but also information on how to access and enter the stadium, as well as seat information, etc. HIS staff who have experience accompanying baseball watching tours provided detailed information that will help you enjoy the game even more if you know it. An HIS staff member who is also hearing-impaired served as a simultaneous sign language interpreter, and also invited hearing-impaired customers to participate in the information session. Our customers also seem to have had much less anxiety before leaving on their trip. Our customers were able to enjoy traveling and watching the games without any inconvenience during the tour, as a Travel Sign Language Interpretation Supporter* accompanied them on the baseball watching tours. We will continue to propose trips that everyone can enjoy, regardless of whether they have a disability or not.
*Travel Sign Language Interpretation Supporter: HIS's unique service that accompanies you on your trip and provides sign language interpretation for travel information such as local guide explanations and boarding procedures. HIS Universal Tourism Desk plans and sells "Shuwa Support," a tour accompanied by aTravel Sign Language Interpretation Supporter, and "Shuwa Tabi Nakama," a tour accompanied by a dedicated sign language tour guide for the hearing-impaired.
