Activity Models for Tourists of Medium and Long Term Stay in Japan

Abstract

We conducted an investigation for the tourists at Niseko in Japan in order to build the as-is activity models of them. As a result, we could clarify the two types of tourist activities; one is to focus a steady life and another is to enhance a tourism experience. Both types of activities use often rent-a-car although each pattern of using transportation is different a little. In addition they collected by themselves the main information by using word of mouth. Based on the results we are planning to envision the mobility services for them. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
