Nago City, Onna Village, and Yomitan Village Show Their Support! “Declaration of Support for Okinawa Resort Weddings,” a Local Specialty
As part of the “Declaration of Support for Local Specialties” in Nago City, Onna Village, and Yomitan Village, we issued the “Declaration of Support for Okinawa Resort Weddings.”
The “Declaration of Support for Local Specialties” refers to a program in which municipalities rally the entire community to support “local specialties.”※"It is designed to identify [...], and to encourage the proactive dissemination of information."
As a result, it is expected that, through ongoing community-wide efforts involving a diverse range of businesses related to Okinawa resort weddings, the “regional brand” will be developed and strengthened, leading to increased sales and employment in the region and creating a virtuous cycle for the local economy.
The “Declaration of Support for Local Specialties” issued by the three municipalities leverages the synergistic combination of each municipality’s unique natural landscapes—such as beaches—agricultural products, processed goods, and traditional culture. By synergistically linking these industrial resources—such as the unique natural landscapes, including beaches, agricultural products, and traditional culture—we believe we can develop Okinawa resort weddings that surpass those in Hawaii and Guam. By adding value that can only be found in this region—such as wedding ceremony production, wedding favors, commemorative gifts, and post-wedding experiences—we aim to attract even more inbound tourists in the future.
We hope that this declaration will add high value to existing facilities, generate greater economic ripple effects, and contribute to the development of new local economies in the three cities and towns.
