From the 17th to 26th May 2011, ten students from the Department of Japanese Studies, National University of Singapore (NUS), attended a field trip to the island of Kyushu with the purpose of researching the complex relationships between tourism and the environment. Visiting sites at the forefront of green tourism in two prefectures, namely Nagasaki and Kumamoto, the students learned from local entrepreneurs and officials who are addressing contemporary environmental concerns through tourism. These students now wish to share their valuable findings garnered during this trip to Japan. We hope that you will join us at this event which promises to be informative and relevant, especially amid growing awareness to the relation between development and the preservation of the natural environment.
We believe that this event will also provide invaluable information for future groups intending to visit Japan for study trips.

Event details are as follows:

Date: Monday, 13th June 2011
Time: 3.30am to 5.30pm
Venue: Japan Creative Centre, 4 Nassim Road, S(258372)

We look forward to your kind rsvp by the 10th of June 2011 to adriane@sn.mofa.go.jp and do feel free to contact adriane at 67370434 should you have any queries.
