This paper examines sustainable business succession considerations for green tourism (GT), aiming for simultaneous succession of management and local community. First, a review of the general forms of business succession in the modern era reveals that there is a lack of discussion regarding succession of community. Next, we conducted case studies on business succession in GT and categorized them into “intra-household succession” and “extra-household succession,” focusing on blood relations. Considering that there are cases that cannot be covered by these categories, we considered a new idea called “local business succession” (LBS). LBS is supposed to be achieved through “parallel succession,” in which the business owner and the recipient gradually pass on management issues during a parallel period, and through “local collaborative succession,” in which local stakeholders collaborate in the process of succession. LBS is conceived as a new perspective to enable the simultaneous succession of socially related goods and the physical production infrastructure.
