Okinawa plans to be the safest Japanese destination
With the launch of new initiatives designed to reduce devastation caused by possible future natural disasters following last year’s earthquake and tsunami, Okinawa’s local government has made a commitment to become one of the "safest resort destinations in Japan" through a three-step Tourism Crisis Management Planning Project.
