Description

The passenger numbers of the regular connection of Korean Airlines, which started in October 2001 between Akita and Seoul, have remained stagnant. That fright has not been used a lot on business needs, so sustaining that fright has depended largely on tourism needs. It is difficult to expect the increase of tourists to Korea given long-term downward trend of outbound tourists from Akita prefecture. Thus, the method to increase the visitors to Akita from the bigger cities like Seoul or Incheon might largely affect the sustaining activities. In this paper, based on a review of the recent trends in the number of Korean tourists visiting Japan and Akita, I would analyze the means to attract Korean tourists to Akita prefecture. In addition, I introduce promotions of tourism and local products sale, both of which were discussed at project-based learning (PBL) program between Akita International University and Korean Central University conducted from January to March in 2015
