Tamba Study Tour – SFC Pilot Test【Japan】
On January 12 to 14, under the Tamba City Revitalizing City Promotion Partnership Scheme, Pilot Test of DRR Study Tour Project was conducted. Eleven students who are studying DRR/environment at Keio University were invited to learn about Tamba City’s initiatives towards recovery, resources for tourism, community-based forest management and town development, and they were asked to suggest points for improvement in getting the Study Tour going on. An honest question thrown by a student – “What are the attractions of the City that can motivate visitors to come here, despite 90 minute travels from the urban cities?” kept us thinking again and again…, but a remark by another student saying “I don’t wanna go back!” on the last day made us determined to increase the number of such visitors.
