To raise the income of residents in the prefecture so that young people can enjoy living in the region, the prefecture has been making efforts to capture external demand, mainly from Asian neighbors, such as by actively promoting the arrival of international cruises, while further strengthening the competitiveness of manufacturing and tourism as well as agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, all of which have advantages and are the pillars of the local industries.
In support of such initiatives, I have heard that lively discussions have been held at Nagasaki Summit, organized through an industry-academia-government collaboration, and this has been playing a critical role in the revitalization of local economy and communities. The joint efforts toward attracting external demand and tapping domestic demand have been steadily bearing fruit.
