community-related population. ■What is “New Tourism Conference” Tenryukyo, a scenic spot whose nearest station is Tenryukyo Station on the JR Iida Line, was selected as a nationally designated scenic spot in 1933, and the Tenryukyo area used to be a tourist destination visited by approximately 700,000 people a year. Currently, it is suffering from a decrease in the number of tourists. Therefore, the JR Tokai Group, which operates the “conomichi” business that creates a related population in areas along the railway lines, and Crypto Village, which promotes new related population measures, have decided to explore new ways to create a sustainable tourist destination. We have decided to co-sponsor a new “New Tourism Conference,” an initiative aimed at solving tourism issues. In this initiative, together with everyone from the Neyaneya Tenryukyo Digital Residents Department, which works to revitalize the Tenryukyo area, we will recruit people who will be involved as “digital residents” to discuss and put into practice new forms of local tourism. We will provide you with a place to go. ■ What digital residents can do You can
participate in digital exchanges and decision-making, and you can also visit real-life local activities and participate in events and traditional ceremonies. Through these efforts, we will create an environment in which people can access unresolved tourist destination issues, unutilized resources, and real estate, and work together to solve these problems.
