The provincial government is touting tourism opportunities that exist with Japan as Come From Away premieres in Tokyo.
The hit broadway musical made its debut at the Nissay Theatre last night.
The provincial government expects that the production will pique interest in travel to Newfoundland and Labrador.
To that end, tourism minister Steve Crocker, and others from the department, traveled to Japan last October to promote the industry.
While there Crocker met with tour operators that have an interest in selling vacations to Newfoundland and Labrador.
The department has a marketing specialist in Tokyo this week working with Destination Canada to promote the province to travel trade partners.
