It was also selected as one of the top 100 sustainable tourist destinations. Toward the goal of promoting tourism and preserving the environment at the same time, we are picking up trash on beaches, setting up collection boxes, upcycling activities from found trash, learning about the current status of coral (bleaching phenomenon) and protecting it, and taking measures against light pollution during stargazing. I’ve been working on a variety of things. In order to further develop the island, the town as a whole is working to create a sustainable tourist destination based on international standards established by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). In order to preserve and pass on the nature and culture of Yoron Island, we aim to become Japan’s first tourist destination to obtain GSTC certification, secure tourism financial resources, and work together as a community to promote tourism DX. We are working hard to create a tourist area that fosters improvement. We aim to manage tourist destinations that will make the island more beautiful and the region more enriched as the number of visitors increases. The JAL Group supports the sustainable tourism promotion of Yoron Town.
