There has been a rise in the number of companies providing no-frills package tours and discount air fares aimed at Japan's rapidly expanding budget travel market. The most remarkable example is the exclusive outbound wholesaler/retailer, H.I.S., which ranked second in declared income in the 1995-96 financial year. Its tour programs are more creative, flexible and less expensive - and their marketing more innovative - than the traditional wholesalers such as JTB. Though their rapid rise affords new opportunities for suppliers to break into the Japanese market, the typical H.I.S. customer is FIT-oriented with little need for expensive add-ons in package programs UNQUOTE
