沖縄県におけるリゾート・ホテルの発展に関する一考察 -國場組,及びホテルムーンビーチを中心に-
An Inquiry into Development on Resort Hotel in Okinawa : A Case Study of KOKUBA-GUMI CO., LTD and the Hotel Moon Beach
This paper aims at examining how the hospitality businesses have endeavored to solve the issues about external environment, which the hospitality businesses were faced up with; and how the hospitality businesses have provided service concepts to meet visitors’ needs. This study addresses these issues by analyzing the case of “HOTEL MOON BEACH”, which was found by local capital enterprise, KOKUBA-GUMI CO., LTD. Since Okinawa was returned to Japan, and Okinawa Ocean Expo 75 was held in the Motobu Peninsula (the north of Okinawa), the income from tourists has continuously increased, and tourism has become the most important industry in Okinawa. However, after the Okinawa Ocean Expo 75, the visitors extremely decreased, resulting in the bankrupt of a large number of hospitality businesses. Firstly, this paper explains how hospitality cluster in Okinawa has been formed in historical background. The study figured out that KOKUBA-GUMI CO.,LTD contributed to the hospitality cluster formation in the late of 60’s, such as the expansion into tourism business markets. Next, we investigated the local capital hotels, “Hotel Moon Beach”. It was found that the service concept (The See, Green, and Space), which is the mixture of resort life and Okinawa culture, is supposed to be perceived by the main-land Japanese segment. Also Hotel Moon Beach built up a reputation in local capital hotels, and contributed the formation of resort destination in Okinawa. Finally, the study figured out that KOKUBA-GUMI CO., LTD., and HOTEL MOON BEACH played an important role in the historical background in Okinawa hospitality industry.
