Abstract
The number of foreign tourists who were invited from domestic or overseas exceeds 10 million people in Japan. On the other hand, the serious damage assumed by the massive earthquake and its tsunami has been a social problem. The disaster prevention for tourists is one of the factors that need to consider for the regional disaster prevention plan of a tourism city. Although several approaches against the ways of evacuating safely tourists have been examined by a part of tourism organizations, its importance is not well understood. In this study, the significance of tourism disaster prevention in Hakodate is verified through the current situation of the tourism characteristics and the inundation prediction of the scenario earthquake tsunami of level 2 in Hokkaido. The countermeasures and problems of the tourism disaster prevention are summarized from the results of the educational activities toward the tourism industry.
