The participants took part in training in Tokyo and Ama in Shimane Prefecture. The training in Tokyo consisted of briefings from specialists in the tourism field, and active roundtable discussions with people working on the frontline in the tourism industry. The second part of the training in Ama focused on hotel management know-how based on the special characteristics of the local culture and food; the members also learned about how Ama was able to successfully revitalize the town and the island under severe financial conditions.
At the briefing conducted by travel company H.I.S., they explained that in order to lure Japanese tourists to Micronesia, the industry must push areas that are still of ‘value’ to Japanese, such as Micronesia’s untouched and pristine nature and the beauty of the ocean. H.I.S. also underscored that Micronesia’s historical ruins as well as the multitude of cultures from its states can also be resources for overseas tourism. In response, the leaders talked about how there is a need to arrange Chuuk state’s infrastructure and their ability to receive overseas tourists, which goes beyond the hotel and organization frame.
