Background
In recent years, our planet has been hit by global warming and extreme weather, and people are becoming more conscious of the environment in their daily lives than ever before.
The same is true in the field of tourism. Green tourism has become more common, especially among travelers and tourism operators in Europe, the U.S., and Australia, as well as being brought up frequently in international discussions. It will attract more attention in the future.
In Japan, on the other hand, we could say that green tourism is not recognized and people do not understand what it is and what benefits it offers very well.
Green tourism not only preserves the natural environment in local communities, but also stimulates new tourism demand and promotes local employment. Therefore it contributes to sustainable tourism that realizes a virtuous cycle of economy and society in communities.
