In recent years, pet tourism and dog tourism have been attracting attention from local governments and the tourism industry. Even though it is physically and economically difficult to travel due to the return of inbound demand and price increases, demand for traveling with their children has remained high among dog lovers. This can be considered from the results of the intention survey.
