According to the results of a survey regarding the shopping streets conducted in 2009 and 2013, business confidence has been increasing. Yet, more than 80% of the leading players of the shopping streets are now in their 50s and 60s on an average, and many streets have no major stores that can attract customers. Many remaining stores are poorly managed. Under such circumstances, the shopping streets in Fukuoka City are in a tough situation.
With this tight fiscal situation, the city focuses its financial support on those shopping streets that are eager to attempt new things instead of maintaining a uniform, subsidiary status. We make it a rule to apply predecessors’ outcomes to other cases when developing shopping street support measures; thus, we are working on “improvement of shopping streets’ human power” as one such measure.
Now, we focus on the “introduction of external resources” as a specific action, and we look for concrete business ideas for revitalization.

Under the scheme to refine and use regional resources and the private finance initiative (PFI), the city plans the establishment of a spot adjacent to a hot spring and a park to attract customers. As a major development for this area, we are now considering the penetration of sporting events suitable for the city. Thus, the construction of a dedicated facility is being discussed.
The city is now developing a general management plan for public facilities that may streamline such facilities, including gymnasiums in elementary and junior high schools. We need to study the effective use of existing facilities and identify those that are no longer used.

The hometown tax system started in 2008, and Ogi City committed itself to this system in 2014. The city’s hometown tax revenue significantly increased to 16th nationwide in 2015. The most popular return gift is Saga beef. Since beef is popular nationwide, we need to select more unique return gifts that highlight the attractiveness (characteristics) of the city and take into account national trends and the city’s status, instead of making competitive items like beef its major gift.

○Nichinan City has multilayered sightseeing resources, including the sea, mountains, and food. It also offers marine sports, among other activities, and local gourmets such as “Nichinan grilled pole-and-line bonito on rice.”
○In addition to these sightseeing resources, we need to develop products and programs that amuse the five senses through touching, listening, and hands-on experiences. Further, we want to feature the Nichinan lifestyle and frontline businesses.
○With such new products and programs, we want to refine our sightseeing resources and improve our preparedness to host visitors and increase the city’s attractiveness as a tourist resort so that we can provide fresh surprises (excitement) that are bigger than initially expected.

○The annual number of tourists to the city has been stagnant at about two million for the past few years.
○In addition, the city’s tourism promotion plan to provide information via word-of-mouth and SNSs could influence tourists’ behaviors, including shopping behavior.
○At present, the city provides the latest information about events and hot topics through its home page and Facebook. We want to rouse the “intention to visit Nichinan” and motivate people to actually visit by providing information about the city’s appealing points in a timely manner.

○At present, the city’s children do not have many opportunities to associate themselves with tourism directly or indirectly.
○We need to help children deepen their understanding of the importance of passing on valuable tourism resources (e.g., natural features, history, and culture) in classrooms and through community activities to emphasize the importance of extending hospitality to tourists.
○Thereby, we want to increase social awareness of the tourism industry among our children, as they will be responsible for the next generation. We want to build momentum for demonstrating hospitality to tourists.
