Abstract
The Focus of this paper is on how the hosts, who undertake lural resources and cultures, develop their role-consciousness as hosts (Host-Consciousness) through the exchange with guests participating in the exchange program. For the “Experience Nanki Kumano” Exposition, we carried out questionnaires towards leaders (hosts) who played the role in preparation, operation, supporting anddirecting the participants, and then summarized them into 4 types after the analysis. Moreover, we found out that the tendency of Host-Consciousness is different for each type of host, so we pointed out the necessity of supporting methods respectively.
