The number of Japanese tourists visiting Korea has been increased gradually for the advantages. Such as small travelling expenses and short distance between Japan and Korea. In East Asia and pacific area the regional tourists take 55% of the whole tourists in that area, and one third of the regional tourists are Japanese.
In connection with the remarkable increase of Japanese oversea tourists the number of competitive nations to attract them is also increasing every year. As Japanese government enacted the law of oversea tour liberalization in 1964 and the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan normalized in 1965, the number of Japanese tourists visiting korea became on the increase since. However it comes to a stand still at present. Consequently it's inevitable to analize Japanese market in various aspects and obtain systematic support from our government in order to achieve the goal of inviting at least 1 million Japanese tourists.
In our country approximately 500,000 persons go abroad every year through the liberalization of oversea tour for sightseeing over 50 years old since Jan.5.1983 and the number of Korean tourists visiting Japan is also increasing every year. Accordingly those Korean tourists going abroad should be well-trained to introduce our country to foreigners well enough to attract them.
Especially it's urgent for our government to attract more Japanese tourists through information activities and establishment of solid accommodations, as for attracting foreign tourists it's necessary to induce Japanese Travel Agents to sell our products within enthusiam and to enlarge the no-visa system. In addition it's also necessary to increase the number of our travel agents in Japan and step up marketing activity for attracting female tourists in particular. As for the establishment of accommodations we should accelerate the construction of Youth Hostels, golf links for the exclusive use by foreigners and restaurants for group tourists and besides we should also decide in advance on domestic travel fares so as for international travelling agents to easily make hotel arrangements.
In conclusion those ideas mentioned above will contribute to achieving our government's target for attracting 2 million foreign tourists ahead of time and also be a turning point for our country to by taken off as an advanced sightseeing country.
