Okinawa leasing industry reform is not ideal to meet the Chinese guests

Li Peng, a special correspondent for the Global Times in Japan, reported that, following the opening of tourism in Okinawa, Japan opened a non-stop route to Okinawa and brought a large number of Chinese tourists to Okinawa.　　But because the real open tourism in Okinawa is also a recent event, including services, transportation and other industries are urgently needed to improve. October 29, the Institute of the Ryukyu Bank issued a report on the status of Okinawa County rental bus industry in Japan. The report pointed out that as the government lowered the threshold for the operation of the rental bus industry, the total number of operating companies and buses had increased, resulting in lower fares and industry receipts and deteriorating operating conditions. Given the impact of rental cars and the decrease in the number of tourists, the operating environment of the rental bus industry will deteriorate further.　　The report also pointed out that new measures should be taken to meet the demands of regional sports activities and provide new services to cater for the increasing number of Chinese tourists and seek new economic growth points. With the reform of the road transport law in Japan and the relaxation of the rental bus business system in 2000, the number of new entrants has been increasing since the registration system was changed to a licensing system.　　In 2008, there were 46 companies engaged in the rental bus industry in Okinawa County, with 31 companies on Okinawa Island, 6 times times more than 10 years ago. The total number of vehicles operating in the rental industry has increased by 630, up 1.4 times times from 1998, and is slower than the company's growth rate. After the reform of the system, a number of small companies with a size of 10 buses were introduced.　　As a result, some large companies in the rental bus industry and some of the integrated bus companies have reduced the number of buses in order to enhance their efficiency and increase their efficiency and compete with each other.　　At the same time, the average size of the company fell to around 20 buses, down to an average of one-fifth per cent a decade ago. The rental bus industry was the most prosperous in 1999, reaching its peak, with 5.24 million passengers a year later, and then recovered slightly until 2005, and reached a level of 4.92 million passengers in 2008.　　Warmer, and the increase in the number of visitors is inseparable. However, as a result of the continuous entry of small companies, the company's average passenger flow has been reduced by 160,000 in 2008, down by about 16% compared with a decade ago.　　Average vehicle patronage also fell from 10,000 in 1999 to 8000 people in 2008 years. Industry profits fell from 7.8 billion yen in 1999 to 6.5 billion yen, earning 1320 yen per customer. With the increase in the number of practitioners, industry profits and corporate profits have varying degrees of decline. "With the decrease in passenger traffic and profits, the operating environment of the rental bus is deteriorating, and everyone is facing a difficult business dilemma," the source said.
