Japan currently has become Nantong's largest source of inbound tourists and second largest source of foreign investment.

According to the Nantong municipal bureau of culture, broadcast, and tourism, the promotion conference strived to bolster relationships between Nantong and Japan, as well as to enhance their exchanges and cooperation in more fields.
