Tokyo Olympics “Event Minpaku” will resolve the lack of accommodation facilities on August 18th at 4:06 am
In order to respond to the shortage of accommodation facilities that are a concern during the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the Japan Tourism Agency has decided to encourage local governments to use “Private Event Nights” that allow them to stay in private housing for a limited time. The
“Event night stay” is a system that allows a local government to stay in a house for a few days for a few days upon request from an individual when there is a shortage of accommodation facilities due to a large festival.
Since it can be started with a simpler procedure than a regular private night, it is expected to be used as a countermeasure for the lack of accommodation facilities during the Olympic period.
However, local governments say that the definition of accommodation shortage is difficult to understand, or that it is difficult to explain to residents, and only about 30 cases have been implemented in the past three years.
For this reason, the Japan Tourism Agency and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare have reviewed the guidelines to make it easier for local governments to use, introduced the calculation method for the lack of prerequisite accommodation facilities, and can be entrusted to private businesses such as creating a reservation site. Indicates business.
In addition, we created a sample of the documents necessary for the procedure, such as recruitment guidelines when the local government explains to the residents.
Based on the guidelines, the Japan Tourism Agency plans to hold briefing sessions for local governments in the future, and Hiroto Tada, Director of the Tourism Industry Division of the Japan Tourism Agency, said, “Diversification of accommodation options by utilizing event private nights, I want to respond to the increase.
