日本5-6日不靠谱的粗略计划【忽略价钱之后的

反正是让我来选啦,上次去日本给我印象比较深的就是那些寺庙啊吃的啊吃的啊吃的啊和吃的啊,但是很怨念的就是秋叶原没逛够,所以这次去也大概就在这几块,看风景,动漫,吃,吃,吃【因为很重要所以说三遍
时间什么的我也不是很清楚,就先根据旅游攻略随便扯,有个大概印象

路线大概是广州飞大阪,因为有一趟早上的飞机所以预计下午两点就能到,没有时差的困扰,很爽吧︿( ̄) ̄)︿ ,然后可以先去心斋桥,【心斋桥是位于日本大阪府大阪市中央区的商业购物区,这里既有各种精品屋、专卖店和大商场,也有各种小店。这里还汇聚了世界各地的美食,是不可不去的购物天堂。】←就是这么个东西,顺便吃晚饭,然后回酒店休整。

第二天早上去大阪城,实际上是个公园,然后樱花该开的也开完了,不过建筑很漂亮!然后差不多往京都走,像日本这种小地方县和县都挺近的,看到时候怎么安排去,京都有金阁寺【金阁寺原名是鹿苑寺,因为建筑物外面包有金箔,故又名金阁寺。是一座位于京都、最早完成于1397年的日本古刹,除了是知名的观光旅游景点之外,也是被日本政府指定为国宝。】;祗园,就是能看到漂亮艺妓的地方;伏见稻荷大社千鸟居【动漫里有那种一堆红柱子的神社,实物应该挺漂亮】;清水寺!一定要去!景色超美!不过要买票!

京都差不多就这些,可以选几个地方去,下午玩一玩,第三天上午可以再玩一玩,然后去伊势或者富士山,你们看着选,富士山是去看山,樱花公园什么的六月份就关闭了,可以上五合山看看;伊势有伊势神宫【神社】,伊势横町【吃东西买小玩意的】差不多这样,然后晚上泡温泉【不管去富士山还是伊势都可以】,然后可以让安排比较正宗的那种,就是动漫里有的浴衣牛奶之类的

第四天去箱根
大涌谷【大涌谷是箱根最著名的旅游景点。在绿树环抱的箱根中惟独此处山岩裸露,岩缝间喷出的地热蒸气雾气腾腾,从地壳张开的裂缝内,喷出大量的硫黄蒸气,这里的地热景象尉为壮观。由此还可眺望富士山和箱根群山的美丽景色】←有温泉蛋吃哦~
芦之湖【芦之湖是箱根旅游的核心地区,位於箱根町西方,驹形岳的南边山脚。它是在四千多年前,因火山活动而形成的火山湖,是箱根最迷人的旅游景点。芦之湖背倚着富士山,湖山相映,不同的季节有不同的景致和情趣。环湖步道遍植青松翠杉,景致十分怡人,湖中有很多黑鲈鱼和鳟鱼,许多日本人经常在此泛舟垂钓和游泳】
未来21世纪港【未来21世纪港,即未来之港,是横滨中心的一个充满前卫设计的新型街区,汇集商务、住宅、宾馆、花园、购物、餐饮、娱乐等设施。虽然早在1983年就开始街区建设,但为突出未来这一街区主体,至今仍在不断的建设与更新。】
还有些别的地方,像山下公园和舍利白塔,总之一路朝东京玩过去,大概晚上就能到东京,可以去银座看夜景,逛免税店,不过鉴于我们只有女生,所以一!定!要!注意!安全!!!!!然后早早回酒店……

第五天在东京乱得要死【真话】
浅草寺【说起浅草寺这个名字,可能大家都不太熟悉.但是只要说起那印有”雷门”字样的大灯笼,可真是无人不知无人不晓的经典景点。这座建于628年的东京最古老寺院每天吸引着络绎不绝的游客参拜祈福,或是乐淘一些日本江户特色的小商品,吃上一些地道的日本小吃。】
二重桥和皇居【嗯,就是皇宫,门口拍拍照然后撤这样】
秋叶原!!【你们都懂的,虽然是说买电器但是……嘿嘿嘿,要是我进去了出不来你们一定要阻止我】

最后要看,是第五天下午回广州还是第六天早上,如果前者那行程还要缩一缩,如果是后者那就在东京好好玩,还有东京塔啊池袋啊,还可以购物什么的,药妆啊友禅纸啊blablablabla

然后回国

吃的话还要慢慢找……不过那些神社啊寺庙啊都有好吃的(¯﹃¯)

伊藤久右卫门品尝抹茶甜品【伊藤久右卫门,宇治茶老铺,以各类高级抹茶及抹茶系列食品闻名,是京都的著名店铺与旅游必去之处。】
京都汤豆腐
黑毛和牛涮涮锅【名称:しゃぶしゃぶコース 内容:肉、野菜、うどん、ご飯、赤だし、香の物、デザート付き←乌冬饭甜点之类的】
还有其他著名的包括和果子,大福,可丽饼,盖饭,寿司……啊饿了……

最后!最重要的一点!人身安全!!日本是一个用色情当饭吃的国家,所以不知道什么时候就会有可疑人物出现,特别是这次全是女生,所以不要单独行动,晚上不要在外面逗留太久,然后去公共洗手间的时候一定要检查有没有摄像头,包括什么自动感应器啊门把啊纸巾筒啊,找洗手间的时候也要注意找好一点的,然后要照顾好自己的包,财不外露,尤其是付钱的时候blablablabla

当然这一切都是要在大家能去的基础上,如果不行………………我们就国内游吧…………

The Future of Tourism in Asean

...The future of tourism in ASEAN Introduction With the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War, there was no longer a pressing need for ASEAN countries to fear their Communist neighbours such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. These countries had started to abandon central planning and implement market-oriented economic reforms from the early 80s, changes which had significant implications for trade and investment opportunities and indicated the need for enlargement of the ASEAN regional grouping in order to maintain its relevance (Wong, Mistilis & Dwyer, 2011a). The momentum to expand ASEAN was further accelerated by the need to strengthen the region’s voice in international trading bodies such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, the World Trade Organization, and in negotiations with the European Union (Tan, 2003). Between 1995 and 1997, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) joined ASEAN. They are sometimes referred to as newer members with less-developed economies. With the ASEAN Concord II in late 2003, Southeast Asia charted an ambitious path toward creating a community (AC) founded on economic, security and socio-cultural pillars. In contrast to the EU on which the agreement is loosely based, have rested on open dialogue and concensus processes that have allowed politically and economic diverse nations to cooperate at the regional level. The progress of on ASEAN Concord II will rest on strong regional diplomacy and management...

Japan Lcc Overview the Competitive Environment in Japan, the World's Third Largest Aviation Market

...Japan LCC overview THE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT IN JAPAN, THE WORLD'S THIRD LARGEST AVIATION MARKET, has witnessed some notable changes in recent months with some fascinating dynamics at play. Japan’s most exciting growth area is the flurry of LCC activity and new entries in the high-potential sector.   ANA and JAL have jumped on the LCC bandwagon with ANA to have not one but two LCC subsidiary offerings in the form of Peach Aviation and AirAsia Japan by the end of the year and JAL establishing Jetstar Japan with oneworld partner Qantas’ subsidiary Jetstar. These start-ups promise radical change, even if their initial projected fleet sizes are modest. As a majority shareholder in both AirAsia Japan and Peach, ANA is taking the lead role in the LCC ventures, with ANA’s president and CEO Shinichiro Ito believing the time is now ripe to launch a series of new products into the market. “Japan’s aviation industry is now entering a period of rapid change. For some time, ANA has been considering carefully what action needs to be taken at this stage. One of our responses has been to invest in Peach and to establish AirAsia Japan,” he has said. However, signs are already emerging that the LCCs will have a direct impact on their parents’ operations. There are a number of factors driving the sudden entry of LCC subsidiaries in the Japanese market, most of which reflect the changing attitude of the Government as it seeks to stimulate the domestic air travel market by rectifying some of...

Egt 1 Task 4

...Company A has made a decision to expand their company in Japan. Our company is going to face some failures in this market located in Japan. When looking at this we do not want to fail on our first attempt. Of course, this is a risk that will have to be taken. If there is a failure on this first attempt, we will incur a great expense, and not mention the difficulty to attempt a second attempt in that particular market. I feel that the most important problem that we are going to face will be the language barrier. The official language in Japan is Japanese. If the local business chooses to conduct a business in Japan, a fluent interpreter will need to be present at all times. This is another expense for the company. English is a language that is taught in Japan, but it is not the primary language that is spoken there. The Japanese have a tendency to be passive resistance. There are a couple of things that this culture takes very seriously. One would be body language. Silence is something that is more integrated in their culture and customs. Helping to avoid a misunderstanding between you and the Japanese conversationalist you will need to use the Japanese body language along with verbal communication. Eye contact here in the United States is something that we use, that is considered very important. In Japan this is to be considered very rude and also aggressive. I feel that to get buy in Japan we need to make sure that we have just a basic knowledge of their culture...
