Commercial tourism is attracting tourists using technology and facilities in relation to industries, industrial heritage and manufactured goods. This commercial tourism has been attracting attention in recent years as a new type of tourism.
In Kyushu, a thriving manufacturing region, visitors can learn about the many industries that have supported Japan.
At automobile plants, visitors can take tours showing the manufacturing process of a car from welding, paint and final assembly, by a combination of robotic precision and human skill. Visitors will be visually amazed at the appearance of vehicles being completed one right after the other. At facilities displaying various robots, visitors can encounter the latest robots and can watch robots performing in shows.
Going to one of these facilities, set in the backdrop of the near future, one can imagine the future possibilities by the efforts of these multi-discipline robots.
Furthermore, Kyushu, an area endowed with a large amount of coal, supported the modernization and economic growth of Japan. Many facilities related to coal and coal mines still remain. At these locations, visitors can learn about the history behind the transition from coal to oil, in addition to the properties of coal and its usage.
Commercial tourism during school excursions is the opportunity to encounter new industries. If students understand the brilliance and importance of the manufacturing of Kyushu, they are bound to become interested in it. Encountering new manufacturing will become a guide for your future career.
