The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism plans to expand the system to subsidize the cost of renovating accommodation facilities and removing closed facilities as a measure to support the tourism industry that has been hit by the new corona.
We will include it in the budget request for the next fiscal year's budget so that we can continue to provide support over several years.
Two years ago, the government established a system to subsidize the cost of large-scale renovations of accommodation facilities and the removal of closed facilities as a measure to support accommodation facilities in tourist areas that have been hit by the new corona.
Regarding this subsidy system, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has considered setting up a new fund so that support can be continued for several years, and decided to include it as a "item request" that does not indicate the amount in the budget request for the next fiscal year's budget. .
Furthermore, within this, in order to promote the DX = digital transformation of the tourism industry, we will also support the creation of a system for sharing the availability of accommodation facilities, etc.
Especially in hot spring towns, the problem of ruining the scenery of the town by leaving buildings such as closed inns as they are has become even more conspicuous in various places since the corona disaster, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is working to revitalize and improve the efficiency of the tourism industry through such support. I would like to connect it to change.
