【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
Up until the end of 2019, inbound tourism to Japan was experiencing unparalleled growth. An increasingly diverse range of tourists had brought opportunities and challenges to tourism managers, yet from 2020 there has been a refocus on domestic tourism due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
After a consideration of historical tourism development, this course will examine a range of topical issues, including relations with South Korea, the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and the impact of UNESCO World Heritage Site designation of Mt. Fuji. We will analyze different management and marketing approaches of tourism in different prefectures. We will consider the factors behind the remarkable recovery of inbound tourism after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and how Japanese tourism may develop in 2023 and beyond.

【到達目標 / Goal】
Upon completion of this course students should be able to:

1) Understand how tourism in Japan has developed into its present form
2) Appreciate some of the key stakeholders involved in planning tourism in Japan
3) Consider destination management and how to harness the social and economic potential of tourism for revitalizing Japan at prefectural level
4) Critically analyze prefectural and national government tourism management and marketing campaigns
