Online Web Workplace Visits & Exchange Meetings (3rd Edition) for International Students Who Wish to Work in the Tourism Industry
_{Tourism industry international human resources employment support project}

In the tourism industry, legislation has been developed to allow the employment of more foreign nationals: for example, a law to grant residence status for designated skills in the hotel and restaurant fields was enacted in April 2019.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will hold the 3rd edition of web workplace visits & exchange meetings for international students in order to make further use of foreign nationals in the tourism industry to meet medium-to-long term demands from inbound tourists in view of post-COVID development.
