Wakayama-CTR Webinar Series 2020
Tourism, Sustainability and Recovery: Asia Pacific Expert Outlook
Vol.2 ‘Recovering sustainably, global lessons for Japan’s tourism industry’
Overview
COVID-19 brings an opportunity to question what tourism is for, the kind of tourism that will be best for our future and how structures and systems need to adapt in order to get there.
This discussion will showcase positive examples where tourism has changed for the better across the world and the steps taken in the process. It will share information on the consumer attitudes and behaviours that are driving purchasing decisions and it will highlight how the use of Big Data in providing timely and granular data can improve decision-making for recovery at a time when there are no precedents to fall back on.
The presentation will conclude with the results of a survey of over 600 Japanese DMOs. This survey shows Japan’s destinations’ current position on sustainability and the level to which they are equipped for adapting to future risks and supporting a future sustainable tourism industry for Japan.
