| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Visitor communication is indispensable in a tourism setting to prevent or remediate the degradation of tourism resources and natural environments as well as to enhance visitor experiences. This study focused on interpretation as a communication approach to visitors and examined the applicability of its theories, elements, and skills that have been used in English-speaking countries to the Japanese tourism settings. It was aimed at assessing the efficacy and outcome of training programs of interpretation in Japan and suggesting an effective training framework for Japanese tour guides and interpreters. Questionnaire surveys and interviews were conducted with training participants. Context analyses were carried out on interpretation application in signs and exhibits at free-choice learning settings in which visitor experiences are typically created, including cultural heritage sites, museums, zoos, aquariums, and science centers. Suggestions for tour guide training were provided.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
英語圏で発展して普及されてきたインタープリテーションの手法が、日本においても適用可能であり、通用することが示唆された。英語圏での要素と理論は日本のガイドでも活用できている事例も確認できた。一方で、現状ではその手法がツーリズム分野では広がっておらず、今後の適用の余地が大きい。また、展示やサインなどへのインタープリテーションも、適用が限られており、部分的な普及は見られるものの、充足すべき余地が示唆された。インタープリテーション技能を習得できるトレーニング内容の礎が示され、今後の研究基盤が築かれ、実際の導入事例も見られた。トレーニングの内容や方法、体系については未確立であり、今後も研究が必要である。
