| Research Abstract |
In the survey, characteristics of Japanese dairy tourism businesses and its social/economic conditions for sustainable management were investigated using quantitative and qualitative data (national mail survey and site depth interview). It was clarified from the analysis and discussion that Japanese dairy farmers were facing three social/economic constraints against sustainable dairy tourism management: (1) inefficient local market conditions to expand their businesses more effectively; (2) difficulties of female farmers' participation into rural tourism management/its decision making; and (3) lack of management conditions in less favored regions.
