Kanzashi Group Company N's Enterprise, Airtrip, and Japan's Largest Hotel Chain "APA Hotel" Begin Business Alliance for Domestic Tour Product Planning and Sales

Kanzashi Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & President, Tourism Producer: Masahide Akiyama; hereinafter "Kanzashi"), which operates "Ryokan/Hotel Tech Business," "HR Tech Business," and "Tourism Tech Business" under the vision of "Make Sustainable Nippon - Becoming the most essential company for 'Ryokan, Hotels, Local Businesses, etc.' and 'Local Governments'," through its group company N's Enterprise Inc. (hereinafter "N's"), has partnered with Apa Service Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Taku Motoya; hereinafter "Apa Service"), along with its parent company Airtrip International Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & President and CFO: Yusuke Shibata; Securities Code: 6191; hereinafter "Airtrip"). This partnership has led to the joint sale of domestic tour products (dynamic packages) on the official website of Apa Hotel, which boasts the largest number of guest rooms in Japan.

**Regarding this Partnership** Through this partnership, it will be possible to book and purchase domestic tour products (dynamic packages) on the official website of Apa Hotel (https://www.apahotel.com/), which boasts the largest number of guest rooms in Japan. These packages combine N's and Airtrip's domestic airfare (tour-exclusive fares, IT fares) with accommodation plans exclusive to the Apa Hotel official website.

Over 20 million Apa Hotel members will now be able to utilize attractive, official-exclusive package plans that offer the convenience of one-stop booking for flights and accommodation, which previously required separate arrangements, all through the Apa Hotel official website.

**About Apa Hotel Official Website Exclusive Domestic Tour Products (Dynamic Packages)** N's and Airtrip have concluded sales agreements for domestic travel fares (tour-exclusive fares) with major domestic airlines. Leveraging their direct contracts with accommodation facilities and years of procurement expertise, they have developed domestic tour products (dynamic packages) that are "even more affordable as a set" and offer a "rich lineup." This enables the sale of domestic air tickets at special procurement prices and provides highly convenient functions such as seat selection within the site. By combining these with Apa Hotel official website exclusive plans, which boast Japan's largest number of guest rooms, they will realize an even more convenient service offering with the following three main strengths:

* **Price Competitiveness** By combining Apa Hotel official website exclusive plans with tour-exclusive fares made possible through N's and Airtrip's strong airline alliances with major domestic airlines, highly cost-effective products are realized, exclusive to official package bookings.

* **Convenience Covering Major Domestic Airlines (※1)** Handling routes of major domestic airlines, allowing flexible combinations for access to Apa Hotels nationwide. ※1: Major domestic airlines refer to ANA, JAL, JAL Group, Skymark, Solaseed Air, Solaseed Air, StarFlyer, AIRDO, Fuji Dream Airlines, Peach, Jetstar, and Spring Japan (※2). ※2: Tours utilizing JAL, JAL Group, Skymark, Fuji Dream Airlines, Peach, Jetstar, and Spring Japan are organized by N's and Airtrip and sold by Apa Service on the Apa Hotel official website.

* **Further Value Enhancement** By offering package plans with flights, the experience value for over 20 million Apa Hotel members is further enhanced. In addition to a seamless experience of booking flights and accommodation together, enriched value-added functions such as flight seat selection (limited to applicable seats) provide customers with a highly convenient booking experience.
