I have specific Japanese OTA which worked very well for me for bookings in Japan including BRGs on Intercontinentals but I am not aware of any other country/continent specific OTAs for BRG purposes.
Thanks for your help, Boris. I'll do just that. And as a matter of fact, I'll be in Japan this Thursday. Let me give it another try!
