Student Group Looks to Hold Night Festival to Help Increase Tourism to Kouri Island, Okinawa
(firmenpresse) - Creates Crowdfunding Project to Help Fund the Festival
TOKYO, Aug 19, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - A student group from Okinawa University is attempting to help increase the amount of tourists that visit not just the main island but also the beautiful island of Kouri, a small islet that was connected to the main island by a bridge in 2005. They are looking to continue a festival they started last year, the Kouri Night Festival, by raising money via crowdfunding.
The island of Okinawa, located to the south of Japan, is a popular destination for many tourists, both Japanese and foreign due to its picturesque sights and amazing climate. There are however many problems that face the surrounding islets. Many tourist visit islands such as Kouri, however they often just stop to take pictures and then leave, with no money flowing into local economy.
With this in mind, a group of students who have lived or studied in Okinawa and wish for those visiting the island to be able to experience not just what the main cities such as Naha has to offer, but also these smaller islands as well.
By using crowdfunding to help launch the event this year, the group is hoping to reach a larger group of people all over the world, in order to entice people to come to the island and help the community flourish.
