In this study, we determine the prerequisites for the effective functioning of a hosting organization managed by local inhabitants. By comparing the cases managed by the government and the local inhabitants, we identify that the hosting organization is required to (1) experience local culture, (2) cooperate with local whole organizations, and (3) serve as coordinator to secure the appropriate the number of hosting houses for students. We found that (1) is necessary for governmental support toward the hosting organization, (2) is not sufficient for effective cooperation, and (3) is necessary for cooperation with neighboring municipalities as well. Therefore, it is difficult for an organization managed only by local inhabitants to host effective experience-based education tours, and that it needs governmental support.
