Senior officials from JTB Corp, Japan's largest travel agency, visited the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination yesterday.

Huang Yaocheng, the bureau's deputy director general, met with the JTB delegation led by Makoto Mcrimcto.

JTB took part in the operation of the Aichi Expo 2005, in which it managed the sales of ticket, the operation of car-parking registration, the planning of theme pavilion, advertising and promotion as well as tourists' administration.

Huang expected to communicate more with JTB on ticket management of World Expo 2010 Shanghai, which was under way to be carried out.

Mcrimcto expressed his willingness to share the experience. He said there were many things worthy of Shanghai's attention to take for reference.

For example, the peak time of Aichi Expo did not come in the earlier period as the organisers had expected. Instead, many visitors swarmed in during the later several months. It may also occur to the World Expo 2010 Shanghai.
