Oooh Inc. has announced five countries (Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Costa Rica, Peru, and Poland) as overseas travel destinations that travelers can enjoy with peace of mind, against the backdrop of shifting international circumstances such as instability in the Middle East. The company partners with local travel agencies in over 100 countries worldwide and provides custom-made trips, selecting destinations based on information drawn from its on-the-ground network.

The countries selected this time were presented as regions that remain accessible to travelers, taking into account safety, accessibility, and local conditions.

Mongolia offers travelers the opportunity to experience vast grasslands and the lifestyle of nomadic peoples, including ger (yurt) accommodations and horseback riding, allowing visitors to engage with a way of life that coexists with nature. The country also offers a stay experience distinct from everyday life, including the silence found away from urban areas and skies filled with stars. Uzbekistan, home to the historic cities of the Silk Road, is characterized by Islamic architecture and historic landscapes seen in places such as Samarkand. With relatively stable prices, the country provides an environment where travelers can immerse themselves in history and culture during their stay.

In Costa Rica, approximately one-quarter of the national territory is designated as protected areas, allowing for wildlife observation and ecotourism within diverse natural environments such as tropical rainforests and volcanoes. Peru is notable for offering experiences that combine archaeological sites such as Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines with the natural scenery of the Andes, and is known as a destination with distinct cultures and landscapes from region to region. Poland, centered on historic cities such as Warsaw and Krakow, retains the streetscapes of its old towns and cultural facilities, and is presented as a region where travelers can engage with European history and culture.

The company operates a platform that directly connects travelers with local travel agencies, enabling custom-made trip consultations and arrangements through chat. By leveraging AI translation features, the platform reduces language barriers, and combined with Japan-based support, it provides assistance throughout the trip. Through flexible itinerary design and support systems based on local information, the company aims to accommodate a wide range of travel needs.
