Abstract

Kyoto City in Japan has 17 world heritage spots that are referred to as the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. It has long been chosen as a school trip destination for Japanese students and is recognised as an exemplary destination for domestic travel, and is considered as one of the top destinations in the world to visit. However, the visiting crowds tend to congregate in just a few places, which leads to overcrowding and can make tourist attractions less appealing. This can have a detrimental effect on a city's tourism and lead to a sharp fall in revenue. With that in mind, a team of researchers, represented by Dr Yoshiaki Kouchi, in the Department of Public Policy within the Faculty of Sociology, Bukkyo University in Japan is studying the effect of tourist attributes and travel patterns on sightseeing excursions.
