ABSTRACT
Tourism has the effect of healing the minds of tourists in a different environment. Tourists will also be delighted by the rare lands and excited by the magnificent architecture and nature. On the other hand, tourism will be a big business for local people, which can be expected to revitalize the area and increase the number of residents. In recent years, rural areas have been declining due to the concentration of work in cities and the declining birthrate and aging population. Along with this, there are many towns and villages that are merged or abandoned. Against this background, the number of local governments that are trying to regain the vibrancy of the past by focusing on the tourism industry is increasing year by year. As part of this, we took Takachiho Town as an example to see if we could contribute to more effective tourism PR by incorporating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as Computer Graphics (CG) into introductory videos such as Promotion Video (PV) and commercials.
