A committee member of JNTO(Japan National Tourism Organization), researchers of economics, travel business, hotel manager and other professionals gave reports and lectures, and panel discussions over the latest statistic tendencies of the inbound business and foreign tourists in Japan. According to them, after the sharp decrease in number of foreign visitors to Japan since the earthquake disaster in March, gradually the number is rising again though it has not come back to that in around the same time last year yet. Ideas about Several effective measures to increase the number and attract foreign travelers were suggested.
After the seminar, a party was hosted by the organization for the guests and attendees of the seminar as well, in which a lot of people related to inbound, lodging, transportation, and other concerning business fields took part in it and I enjoyed that company. Now I feel, slowly but steadily we are vigorously overcoming the blow of the aftermath and shocks of the earthquakes, tsunamis,and the nuclear power plant’s accidents in our Japanese tourism.
