Travel and Tourism will be on the rise in Ginoza, Okinawa, Japan.
The photo above was taken this afternoon at a (not open, yet) brand new attraction.
Map It Okinawa, RyukyuRusty and I will be getting a sneak-preview tour, next week.
It has us wondering. Will the travel and tourism industry be a benefit or, be harmful ?
We have been on our own, sneak previews of this cave, before.
This photo was taken in March 2012 looking out, from just inside the cave.
The place has changed a lot over the past few months.
It's pretty exciting. I take plenty of photos and promote Okinawa travel and tourism.
But, I wonder what effects they will have on the village of Ginoza and the cave.
There are economic, social and environmental Pros and Cons to tourism.
A short and sweet USA Today Article discusses the issues.
Let's hope, my good friends in Ginoza don't let any cons get in there !
More about this new tourist attraction may be found at Map It Okinawa.

Hopefully it will not be harmful, it looks beautiful. We will definitely plan a visit when it opens!
Nicole,
Same here. I'm hoping this attraction contributes to the Village of Ginoza and, nature, as well.
