Since the dawn of the 21st century, Japan has switched its national industry strategy from traditional industries—manufacturing and trading—toward tourism. Regional revitalization is a particularly important issue in Japan, and by uniting regions as an integrated tourism zone, the government expects an increase in visits to tourism zones. This study quantitatively evaluates whether the regions that contain a tourism zone experience a significant increase in visitors by using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. Additionally, it examines the effects of subsidies through regression modeling. The results indicated that the tourism zones that were comprised of a narrow region in the same prefectures experienced a significant increase in visitors. The subsidy on information transmission, measures for the secondary traffic, and space formation had a significant positive impact on the increase in visitors to these tourism zones. Implications on tourism policies, urban and regional development, and community development can be obtained through this study.

The purpose of this study is to develop a model that relates directly and indirectly to the performance achievement of Free Trade Zone Development Agency in Indonesia including the construct of strategic planning and the role of innovation as mediation in supporting the relationship of independent variables and dependent variable. The proposed mpdel was tested using SmartPLS ver. 3.0 for data processing. Data was collected from questionnaires completed by 109 samples who were seating as executives/head of department of Free Trade Zone Development Agencies in Indonesia. The four hypotheses tested in this study conclude that the construct of strategic planning has negative effect and not significant to the performance of the agencies, but indirectly has a significant effect on performance if it through innovation as a mediation. Strategic planning directly have significant relation on innovation, and innovation also evidenced to have strong influence in achieving organization performance. This study indicates that the Agency may achieve great performance when they can practically set up a strategic planning and optimize innovation ability within the organization.
