A Study on "Tsuri-girls" who Enjoy Game Fishing : Analysis by Questionnaire Surveys of Female Game Fishers who Took Part in Activities at a Ladies' Game Fishing Class in Atami

Abstract

In order to expand markets for female game fishing, I researched the needs of women who enjoy game fishing. I used questionnaire surveys of female game fishers who took part in activities at a ladies' game fishing class in Atami. As a result I found out that women tend to regard fishing as a fun tourist activity, and that consideration of good hygiene in the fishing field and the increase of customer-friendly events and tours that participants could easily enjoy made it more effective.
