Question: W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant responsible for marketing 10 UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in a leisure sector, all of a very high standard. M: Which markets were you responsible for? W: For Europe and Japan. M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan? W: Yes, I have, I spent months in Japan 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese I had a very big advantage. M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job? W: Yes, I've had a lot. The truth is I have become very popular with the Japanese, both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently. M: Really, I'm interested to hear more about that, but first tell me have you ever traveled on the luxury train, the Orient Express, for example? W: No, I haven't. But I've traveled on the Glacial Express through Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That's why I'm very interested in this job.
