Japan has seen a significant influx of tourists, reaching a record-breaking 36.8 million visitors in 2024, with expectations for even higher numbers in 2025. The country’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and advanced technology continue to attract travelers from around the world. However, as the tourism industry booms, concerns are being raised about the potential impact of mass tourism on local communities, infrastructure, and the environment.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his views on this growing trend. He emphasized the importance of sustainable tourism practices to ensure that the influx of visitors does not negatively affect Japan’s cultural heritage or natural beauty. Khatri also highlighted the need for responsible tourism management to balance the economic benefits of tourism with the need to protect the country’s resources for future generations.
As Japan prepares to welcome even more tourists in the coming years, it is crucial for stakeholders to work together to address the challenges associated with mass tourism and strive for a more sustainable approach that benefits both visitors and the local communities they visit.
