"When I was walking in the city, I saw so many foreigners compared to a while ago."
In recent years, I heard such voices in various places.
This impression is completely wrong.
It is already well known that the tourism industry is very booming and will continue to grow in the future.
According to a survey by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the number of international arrivals will be 300 million in 2016 years, up to more than 12 a day in the world.
It is thought that 2030 year will reach 18 Foreign tourists.
Tourism bringing such enormous people's mobility has the potential to make a big contribution to sustainable development in the economy, society and the environment.
Looking at this situation, the United Nations decided the 2017 year as "year of sustainable tourism development" and spread the recognition of the role of tourism.

Severe reality in the profit sharing of the tourism industry
Naturally, the tourism industry is not such a disadvantaged industry at all.
There are many things to be done in order for the economic and social benefits that it brings to bring benefits in a fair and responsible manner to the travel destination locally.
For example, according to the United Nations Environment Program, the tourism industry leakage has reached 40 ~ 50% in emerging countries and 10 ~ 20% even in developed countries, and reports that the revenue which should originally be dropped locally has not been properly returned .
Move action to further develop the tourism industry
Several countries and municipalities have already started taking actions such as suspension of acceptance of travelers, allocation system, restrictions, preventive measures, etc.
For example, Ireland's Loop Tour Tourism Association reviewed tourism acceptance policies to maintain a sustainable community.
We prohibit the use of sightseeing buses to the vicinity of historical heritage, give priority to travelers of long-term stay, and restrict access of day trip tourists.
By traveling industry and international organizations around the world, it is necessary to agree on the means and standards necessary for realizing it by 2017 year, "year of sustainable tourism development" established by the United Nations.
In order to prevent the words "Sustainable" or "local" from becoming empty, it is also necessary to secure the way people use words and the term system firmly.
Just as clear standards have been set so that the food and beverage industry does not impair the meaning of the word "organic", the travel industry is also thought necessary to establish a system to prove sustainability I will.
If the tourism industry develops, business opportunities for tourism related products and services will also expand.
In addition, through the trip, people, goods, money, the flow of information becomes active, and it is also significant in terms of promoting the development of the country and region.
In the future, the tourism industry is the "hopeful industry", and more and more countries are developing various measures to attract tourists to only the key industries supporting the country.
