Organized the 23rd Inter-Islands Tourism Policy Forum
We organized the 23rd Inter-Islands Tourism Policy (ITOP) Forum of 2019 held in Okinawa on November 6. ITOP was started in 1997 by the four islands of Hainan (China), Bali (Indonesia), Okinawa and Jeju Island (South Korea) to discuss common issues related to tourism products of island regions, promotion of economic growth, and research surveys for appropriate tourism management.
The banquet venue Shurijo Castle was destroyed by fire two days before the event. We immediately proposed the "Valley of Gangala" as an alternative venue so that the guests could enjoy a unique venue in Okinawa.
