Asian tourists flock to Osaka


More tourists are picking Osaka as their Japan holiday destination, with visitors arriving via Kansai airport outstripping those to Narita airport near Tokyo, Bloomberg reports.

South Korean and Chinese tourists are driving the visitor boom, thanks in part to increased flights by Chinese and South Korean low cost airlines.

It was recently reported that Osaka is the remaining major Japanese city still actively pursuing the development of an IR.

Last week, more than two hundred business people gathered at a symposium on Yumeshima to learn more about its prospects.

The Osaka government and big business community have previously established their broad vision for the Yumeshima IR, which would become a “Well-Being Resort City.”
