Mie Industrial Promotion Vision Advisory Board

Mie Industrial Promotion Vision Advisory Board. Together with APU President Haruaki Deguchi, Mr. Jiro Terashima, Ms. Yoshiko Ikoma, and others.
Actually, it seems that “hitsumabushi,” “uiro,” and “tenmusu” all originated in Mie Prefecture. Aichi Prefecture stole the credit!
Regarding the tourism industry, based on reports indicating that domestic bookings have already been canceled through August and inbound bookings through November, I completely agree with what Mr. Terashima said.
Infectious diseases that spread through travel and interaction are a downside of digitalization and globalization, and they will become the new normal going forward. COVID-19, like the influenza virus, is classified as BSL-2 (Biosafety Level 2), so evidence-based optimism is crucial.While we must do everything in our power to respond medically, we must also take a calm and rational, evidence-based approach to economic activity! A key challenge moving forward is that Japan has only one facility capable of handling BSL-4-level pathogens, such as the Ebola virus and smallpox virus.
Today’s meeting was held at Mie Terrace in Nihonbashi, but next time I’d like to visit Mie ^^
