Also new is China’s High Speed Railway, and bigger presence from the Greater Bay Area which benefit greatly by the opening of the Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge, so likely more related travel products.  Visitors will again find in the Japan pavilion many activities and theme travel products for FIT.
