This project aims to construct various Okinawan traditional performing arts experience proram models that utilize cultural resources (Sanshin (Three-string guitar), Ryukyu dance, Eisa folk dance, etc.) and can be incorporated into travel products, and establish a new tourism menu utilizing cultural resources unique to Okinawa. For tourism operators (travel agencies, hotels, tourist facilities, bus companies, etc.) within the prefecture, we will introduce how to use traditional performing arts content and efforts and examples of travel commercialization. Tourism operators will also hold exchange meetings with cultural organizations to promote travel commercialization.
