Abstract

In this study, in order to analyze the impacts of networking tourist destinations on the consumption of foreign visitors in Japan, we developed a travel consumption model considering trip chains. In addition, we propose a parameter estimation method for this consumption model and estimated the parameters from 47 prefecture data in Japan. Using this consumption model, we analyzed impacts of the high-speed maglev line on consumption of foreign visitors in Japan. As a result of the analysis, it is shown that the production of tourism industry will increase not only along the high-speed maglev line, but also in the southern part of Tohoku, Chugoku and Shikoku regions, and that there are a few prefectures where tourism industry production will decrease. And it is cleared that the high-speed maglev line will improve the utility of foreign visitors from Narita, Haneda, Chubu and Kansai Airport, and that the utility of foreign visitors from Kansai and Chubu airports will be especially improved, because they will be able to access to each destinations easily, including Tokyo metropolitan region.
