Following the Tateyama Kurobe World Branding Project ① What is “Tateyama Kurobe World Branding”?

“Tateyama Kurobe World Brand”Do you know the project?

To put it simply, Toyama Prefecture will proceed in response to the “Sightseeing Vision Concept Meeting to Support Tomorrow's Japan” launched by the Abe Cabinet in 2015.Let's make “Tateyama Kurobe” a world-class “stay and experience type” mountain tourist destination ”That's it.

2016 year 11 month 13 day, 2017 year 1 month 13 day, 3 month 27 day, three times,Study meeting to consider the maintenance and use of "Tateyama Kurobe"Was opened.

The main points of the study group are as follows.

• “Tateyama Kurobe” is a mountainous area with an unprecedented natural environment in Japan, where natural environment conservation activities are advanced, and in terms of usage, it is also a tourist destination visited by many tourists from home and abroad Has established its position as.
• However, the environment surrounding “Tateyama Kurobe” has changed dramatically, including an increase in foreign visitors to Japan, an increase in individual tourists, and dramatic improvements in access to the Tokyo metropolitan area via the Hokuriku Shinkansen. Appropriately grasping such changes and responding flexibly and promptly will be a condition for becoming a “selected tourist destination”.
• In particular, there is a movement to register “Tateyama Kurobe” as a World Heritage site, and the number of foreign visitors to Japan is expected to increase further toward the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020.
• When more and more tourists come from both inside and outside Japan, it may be necessary to consider once again whether it is a tourist destination that will satisfy the tourists.
• for that reason,We will once again grasp the current status of “Tateyama Kurobe” and become a “world brand” so that it can be a tourist destination that people around the world want to visit. DoI want to do it.
• In considering this, “Tateyama Kurobe” is located in the national park, and the richness of the natural environment is the center of attraction. I would like to consider it on the premise of carrying out maintenance.
