| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although tourism is one of the industries affected by the high-speed rail (HSR), not much is known about its effects on the same. The main achievement of this research is the analysis of the effect of opening HSR on tourism industry. The simulation analysis is demonstrated on example of Kyushu Shinkansen in Japan. The results show that the HSR has unequal effects on tourism among prefectures. The presence of these inequalities depends on whether the prefecture is a served by HSR, whether it is a terminal or an intermediate HSR station, and its current popularity with the tourists. Despite these inequalities, the economies of all the prefectures are benefited by the HSR owing to general equilibrium effects.
