Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we clarified the influence of tourist information on touristic behavior using computer simulation. When the tourist visiting multiple urban tourist attractions, the result of the simulation analysis using the tourist behavior model showed that there is a possibility that the person with information to get before sightseeing more efficiently act. Also, in the results of the simulation analysis, it was suggested that it is necessary to develop more attractive places compared to "South Canal area" in order to direct tourists to the "Northern Canal area".
