In an environment blessed with abundant natural beauty, having high school students actually engage in guiding work and experience interacting with tourists and providing nature interpretation directly contributes to the development of future leaders in the tourism industry.<\/p>\n

Through this internship, I was able to learn about the \u201cpower of people\u201d and the \u201callure of nature\u201d that underpin tourism, as well as the \u201csignificance of international exchange,\u201d all at the same time, andThat's what makes Ishigaki Island so special<\/span><\/strong>I am once again realizing the educational value that can be achieved.
