Summary
The Hokkaido Tourism Organization released the preliminary FY2024 economic impact report on the prefecture's tourism industry in June 2025.
The Hokkaido Tourism Organization released the preliminary version of its FY2024 economic impact study on Hokkaido’s tourism industry on June 23, 2025. The report provides an early snapshot of visitor spending, employment and value added generated by tourism during the fiscal year, ahead of the finalized version published later in the year.
What happened
The organization conducts an annual visitor satisfaction and economic impact study covering the previous fiscal year. The preliminary release is issued once initial datasets are available, and is later revised into a finalized version once the prefecture’s official visitor arrival totals are confirmed.
Why it matters
Business travellers, investors and industry associations use the preliminary figures as an early indicator of tourism momentum. The report provides an early view of how Hokkaido tourism is tracking versus the previous year and versus prefectural targets, before final numbers are confirmed.
