先月に出来た戸倉上山田温泉の英語のグルメーガイド・散歩の地図は8月7日の「観光経済新聞」に掲載されました。レストラン20件、お土産屋さんなどのお店21軒の協力が集められた事と、外国人の目線で作られた事が注目されました。私が思いますが、これだけ外国人受け入れの店がそろえた温泉街は戸倉上山田ぐらいじゃないかと。
皆さんのマップつくり努力はその分の価値がありましたよね。
Togura Kamiyamada Onsen's new English Gourmet Guide / Walking Map was featured in the August 7th issue of the weekly Kanko Keizai Newspaper. Apparently the fact that so many businesses supported the making of the map -- 20 restaurants and 21 souvenir and other shops, plus the fact that it incorporated wo many features specifically for foreign travellers, were newsworthy enough to be featured. I think our onsen town is pretty unique in that we have so many shops and businesses interested enough in accepting foreign customers that they would financially support the making of this map.
It looks like all of the work that went into the map is paying off!
