The government has announced the "Hokuriku Support Discount" as a tourism support measure for the Hokuriku region, which has been affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. This support initiative is scheduled to be implemented from March onward and aims to subsidize half of the accommodation fees for tourists visiting the four prefectures of Ishikawa, Fukui, Toyama, and Niigata, with a maximum limit of 20,000 yen per person per night. However, concerns have been raised about the limited effectiveness in Noto, where the damage was significant, as the restoration of tourism resources and accommodation facilities faces challenges. Tourism operators and local residents are urging for the implementation of more appropriate support measures while assessing the progress of reconstruction. The support is directed towards tourism and accommodation businesses, allowing travelers to make purchases at discounted prices.

政府が能登半島地震の影響を受けた北陸地域の観光支援策として、「北陸応援割」を発表しました。この支援策は、石川、福井、富山、新潟の4県を訪れる観光客の宿泊料金の半額を、1人1泊あたり2万円を上限に補助するもので、3月以降に実施される予定です。しかし、被害の大きかった能登地方では、観光資源や宿泊施設の復旧が難しく、効果が限定的であるとの懸念が表明されています。観光業者や地元住民は、復興状況を見極めつつ、より適切な支援策の実施を求めています。支援の対象は観光業者や宿泊業者であり、旅行者は割引価格で購入可能です。
