Abstract
The aim of this paper is to integrate tourism-related industries in the Chubu Region. We focus on the following points.
First, spread of average length （Average Propagation Length） was used for analysis of tourism-related industry clusters. Second, results of typical residential tourism in the Chubu Region were analyzed by using the average spread length for a tourism-related industry in Toyama Prefecture as follows: （1） Toyama Prefecture has a business relationship with other prefectures, paying attention to the proximity of the economic distance;and （2） Toyama Prefecture has inter-industries and inter-industry direct spread.
Third, we focus on the tourism-related industry in Aichi Prefecture as typical of urban tourism in the Chubu Region. Main results are as follows: （1） Aichi Prefecture and economic transactions in Aichi Prefecture have economic transactions with economic distance;and （2） when attention is focused on proximity, spread is also presented in the direct spread between industries.
