訪日外国人の訪問地集中指標と一極集中是正に向けた分析

～北海道の宿泊地を対象として～

While the promotion of inbound tourism by the government is proceeding, the concentration of tourists to some areas has become an issue from the aspects of the capacity of facilities and the disparities of benefits from inbound tourism consumption. To evaluate the government policy, we created indicators to measure the concentration of destination and applied them to a case study of Hokkaido, where there is disparity between Sapporo and other areas. In addition to the occupancy rate of tourists in Sapporo and the average distance between Sapporo and each area, we adopted the Gini coefficient per population, the number of employees of the lodging industry and the number of available rooms. We revealed quantitatively that the concentration of foreign tourists is higher than that of Japanese tourists. We also found that the concentration elicited by the occupancy rate of Sapporo does not always show the same tendency as the concentration indicated by the Gini coefficient and the average distance.
