Either prejudice or pure naïvete. There's a strong demand locally for current information about Japan, supported by four TV channels devoted to Japanese news and features, Japanese daily, weekly & bi-monthly periodicals, Japanese radio and more, supported by subscriptions and advertising dollars. Would a travel agency specializing in tours to Poland support a Focus on Poland page? Have you complained about the weekly Vegas Advisor in the Sunday Travel section? Why discriminate and feature Vegas when there are lots of other places like Cincinnati, Fresno, Biloxi and Fargo to treat fairly?
