Abstract
In this paper, an input-output model, which is based on Origin-Destination data of foreign visitors in Japan, is proposed for the impact analysis of increasing foreign visitors by international airport sales. In the first part, the OD data of foreign visitors in Japan are explained and an Input-Output model is developed. Then it is proposed how to do the impact analysis of increasing foreign visitors by international airport sales, employing this IO model. In the latter part, the impacts of increasing Chinese and Taiwanese visitors are estimated by this IO model, and they are compared between the two countries. In the result, it is cleared that increasing Chinese visitors in Narita, Kansai or Chubu airport will influence to all three metropolitan regions, but that the impacts of Kansai or Chubu airport to Tokyo metropolitan region are bigger than the impacts of Narita airport to Osaka or Chubu regions. On the other hand, it is shown that increasing Taiwanese visitors in Narita airport will influence to only Tokyo metropolitan region, and that increasing in Kansai airport will influence to only Osaka metropolitan region, and that increasing in Chubu airport to only Chubu region, which includes Nagoya metropolitan region.
