Hokkaido was due to become the first country in Asia to host ATWS. However, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, changing the face of the global travel industry and making it impossible to hold the event in-person. As such, the event was held for the first time in a virtual setting, attended by 617 people from 58 countries and regions. During the event, adventures offered by Hokkaido were presented through a series of 8 30-minute films, which were well-received by attendees.
