One consideration about the way of the geographical indication to contribute to prevention of sightseeing trouble

―For geographical indication to contribute to local development using the sightseeing―

Abstract

Currently Japan is infested with products which are introduced as “local” products while those in fact do not contain local ingredients taking advantage of the fact that there is no indication of such ingredients in the country. I point out that there is a high possibility of causing troubles in tourism, thus propose the enhancement measures. I have addressed the Mexican tequila in order to consider the enhancement measures, and have resulted that Japan should have a public certification of region provided and that the system which divides “100% local” and “Not-100% local products” would be effective.
