anyBOUND and JTB Launch Travel Reward and VIP Retreat Services for Crypto Projects
Tokyo, Japan, August 27th, 2026, Chainwire
Helping crypto exchanges, wallets, payment apps and token projects move beyond airdrops with real-world travel experiences
anyBOUND today announced the launch of its travel reward and VIP retreat services for crypto companies, enabling exchanges, wallets, payment apps and token projects to offer travel experiences as user rewards, loyalty incentives and VIP engagement programs. The service supports tailor-made retreats, VIP and KOL invitation trips, and reward travel programs not only in Japan, but also in destinations around the world through JTB’s global network.
Airdrops, token rewards, points, and cashback have defined user acquisition across the crypto industry. However, they have not solved the retention problem. Many projects invest heavily in incentive campaigns, only to see engagement decline once the rewards end.
Financial incentives can attract users, but they rarely create lasting loyalty on their own. Credit card companies, airlines, and financial services have long used travel benefits, dining access, and VIP experiences to build customer relationships that endure beyond campaigns, market swings, and competitive pressure.
anyBOUND brings this proven loyalty model to the crypto industry. Instead of limiting rewards to tokens or points, anyBOUND helps crypto companies turn digital incentives into real-world travel, dining and rare experiences that create lasting impressions.
anyBOUND is operated in partnership with JTB, Japan’s largest travel company, originally founded in 1912 as the Japan Tourist Bureau. JTB has an extensive domestic and global network, including 354 locations in Japan and 152 overseas locations across 81 cities in 36 countries, as well as relationships with more than 35,000 corporate clients. The group has deep experience in corporate travel, MICE, inbound travel and VIP hospitality, including high-level logistics and hospitality arrangements for diplomatic and state visits.
anyBOUND has already supported several crypto projects through retreat planning and user reward programs ahead of this public launch. With this announcement, anyBOUND is expanding its support for crypto user engagement through travel-based incentives and invitation programs.
What anyBOUND Offers
Travel Rewards for Campaigns and Loyalty Programs
Crypto exchanges, wallets and payment services can integrate anyBOUND’s travel products into their campaigns and incentive programs as prizes, benefits or premium user rewards.
Available options include fully arranged Japan travel packages covering accommodation, transportation and local experiences, as well as stays in historic Japanese castles, access to reservation-only restaurants and project-exclusive itineraries. The OMAKASE TRAVEL BOX — anyBOUND’s signature curated Japan experience package — is also available as a premium reward option. Programs can be tailored based on budget, destination, target users and campaign goals.
This allows partner companies to add travel — a reward category with lasting personal impact — to trading campaigns, loyalty programs, VIP user initiatives and KOL engagement programs.
Tailor-Made Retreats, VIP Trips and KOL Invitation Programs
anyBOUND designs custom retreats for crypto communities and invitation trips for VIP users, top token holders and KOLs in Japan and international destinations.
Programs can include travel for dozens of participants tied to conferences and networking events, retreats with workshops for groups of 100 or more, venue sourcing for meetups and community events, logistics planning and on-site operations.
The JTB Group handled more than 5,100 MICE projects in fiscal year 2025, with experience across large-scale conferences, corporate events and private gatherings. Leveraging this operational foundation, anyBOUND helps crypto projects strengthen brand experience, community loyalty and relationships with KOLs.
The service is not limited to Japan. Through JTB’s global network, anyBOUND can support international travel programs, VIP invitation trips, community retreats and conference-linked experiences in destinations around the world.

Comment from anyBOUND
“We started this work quietly, supporting crypto projects with retreats and reward programs before making any public announcement,” said Yohei Shiobara, Founder & CEO at anyBOUND. “What we consistently heard was that financial incentives alone weren’t building the relationships these projects wanted with their communities. Through our work with JTB, anyBOUND is focused on changing that — turning on-chain activity into experiences people actually remember and talk about.”
