Research Abstract

This research has shown that foreign and Japanese tourists have different motives and patterns of behavior and therefore the potential to induce innovations in tourist destinations and industries. However, due tothe regional unbalanced distribution of foreign tourists, these innovations are restricted to some areas and enterprises, which could be called “inbound clusters”.
