Abstract
As the national and local governments have been working on regional development since 2014 in the midst of a society with a declining population, the tourism industry has been growing rapidly as the number of foreign visitors to Japan expanded rapidly in the 2010s, and is attracting attention as a major industry in the region. The "Economic Base Model" is a method for quantitatively predicting the employment effects of regional development, and the revitalization of basic industries that earn money from outside the region is considered a key factor in increasing employment and population in a town. This paper examines the degree of concentration and productivity of the lodging industry, one of the major tourism industries, in each municipality using the "Economic Base Model".
