Today, attracting conventions seems to be an issue in cities in Japan (including local cities).

Concerts and exhibitions of art exhibitions are conventions. However, "academic society" seems to be a pretty valuable event that can secure residents for a relatively long period of time.

This year, at the reception, the tourism bureau next year's venue came to the local appeal.

Certainly, participants of academic societies are valued customers, to drop money to local food and beverage industry. at receptions, and meetings.

Therefore, I always think "I am sorry".

I purchased half a dozen non-alcoholic beer and a lunch box at AEON Mall near the meeting place of the academy, and I read an SF book or watched an anime on Youtube.

It was a time of bliss, not to be disturbed by anyone.

I think that there is not "participant who does not contribute to the local economy" so much, too.

By the way, on the final day of this conference, there was an presentation of the questionnaire on the convention, and I heard that the purpose of the visit to Japan, which is the next convention, was "animation, comic" beyond "watching baseball and soccer".

After I said, "Is anyone able to get Japanese animations and comics anywhere in the world?", An audience from Taiwan teach me

"We are going to visit animation-related goods or animation setting areas (pilgrimage to the sacred place)".

In other words, my actions may be likely to "participants from abroad".

I will not contribute to the local economy.
