Tsunagaru Net Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Osamu Mori), which provides business support to local small and medium-sized enterprises, will hold an online seminar for accommodation facilities titled 'Mobility Utilization DX to Turn Accommodation Facilities into "Tourism Hubs"' on April 21, 2026.
In the current tourism market, bicycles have evolved from mere means of transportation into 'planned mobility' incorporated into travelers' itineraries. This seminar will explain the potential of new tourism by transforming accommodation facilities into tourism hubs, using the service bicycles that are currently just sitting there as tourism infrastructure. It will also introduce methods to solve the challenges of operational costs and management burdens faced by accommodation facilities, achieving both improved customer satisfaction and the creation of new revenue opportunities simply by providing bicycle parking space.
## Background of the Event
Bicycles conventionally installed at accommodation facilities are generally used for nearby shopping, and the facilities operate them merely as one of their services.
On the other hand, in the rental cycle market, the number of operators is increasing along with the rise in tourists. According to market research firm Astute Analytica's 'Japan Bike Rental For Tourism Market', the market was valued at 8.36 million USD in 2024 and is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.41% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.
This is evident as over 1.5 million tourists used rental bicycles in Japan in 2024, indicating an increase in travelers who prefer 'eco-friendly travel'.
Originally, accommodation facilities are often located in areas with easy access to tourist attractions and public transportation. However, accommodations are generally viewed as the end of a journey.
By turning accommodation facilities into the starting point for tourism, the bicycles that are currently just sitting there will become new tourism infrastructure, enabling the provision of new added value to travelers.
This will be an important perspective in future tourism DX.
