Japan's "Post-Coronavirus Tourism Reception Environment Improvement Promotion Grant" focuses on addressing labor shortages in the tourism sector through strategic investments in training and technology. This initiative aims to capture the increasing tourism demand, ensuring service quality and contributing to Japan's vision as a leading tourism nation.
The grant supports lodging businesses in implementing labor-saving technologies and equipment, thereby reducing manpower shortages and enhancing service standards. This is complemented by advisory support from experts to ensure effective implementation. The scheme encourages collaboration across the tourism industry, from government bodies to private sector stakeholders, to develop comprehensive solutions tailored to each region's needs.
Eligibility extends to private entities and consortia capable of executing the project effectively, emphasizing organizational capacity, financial management, and a commitment to secrecy and compliance with legal regulations. Selected projects will receive financial assistance, covering up to half of the eligible expenses, with a cap of 5 million yen, promoting wage increases and service improvements.
This initiative not only aims to alleviate immediate labor challenges but also fosters long-term sustainability by integrating modern practices and technologies into Japan's tourism infrastructure. Through this program, Japan seeks to enhance its global competitiveness in the tourism sector, ensuring a high-quality experience for visitors while supporting local economies.
