By the end of this fiscal year, Kume City will draw up “Kume City’s Tourist/MICE Strategy” plan to increase visitors and promote local activities and economic revitalization. To incorporate opinions from citizens, the city started requiting committee members to organize a working group joined by tourist companies.

The working group will take place from the end of August to March 2015 during the day time. They will have about five meetings at the city hall. The city plans to recruit two members above 18 years old living in the city.

Tokyo Display Association will host “CHO-OMATSURI-this is the professional Matsuri!”, 2 days on August 1st and 2nd at Tokyo Hibiya Park Fountain and Elm Tree Field.
