The Hokkaido University Center for Advanced Tourism Studies will hold the CATS Tourism Online Forum Series (TOFS) vol. 47, "Tourism Documentary: Unveiling the Potential of Regional Areas and Their Ideal Future," on April 17th.

Tourism films are widely used to promote destinations. However, modern tourism videos have become short, superficial and often fail to capture the essence of the place. As a result, tourists may have a distorted perception of the destination and may attract a different audience than originally intended. This forum will explore how tourism films can help shape sustainable tourism and attract visitors who understand the true essence of the destination.
