The Louvre Museum

 The Louvre Museum in Paris, France, the largest museum in the world, was forced to close on June 16, 2025 due to a sudden strike by employees. The staff claim that the museum is about to be crushed by a large number of tourists. The Louvre has a variety of problems, including water leaks, temperature fluctuations, aging infrastructure, and visitors far exceeding the tolerance range.  I strongly understood that Japan is not the only country where overtourism is a hot topic. I don't hear many examples of strikes in Japan, but I feel that there are many overseas. If there were many Japanese people who could express their opinions strongly, such a case would also occur, and in such a case, I feel that Japan is more crowded with people than other countries. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/19fe2fae24e4b064aa809f7e4067f99b58afd64e?page=1

 "OSAKA Satellite EXPO 2025", a festival event for inbound tourists, will be held from July 1 to October 31, 2025, set at major tourist spots such as Umeda, Shinsaibashi, and Osaka Castle in Osaka. At the event, in addition to free distribution of the original "Happy Happi" that allows you to receive special benefits such as discounts at the target store by wearing it, "Mirai Sketch Park" where you can enjoy digital drawing on an LCD tablet, the operation of the inbound bus tour "The XR RIDE", the gift of cosmetic samples, and the implementation of a mystery walk of the popular anime "Detective Conan". I felt that holding such an event in Osaka, which is attracting attention at the Expo, was effective. In addition, I felt that the number of booths that seemed to be popular with foreigners was good. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/6621ce52accd6e0c24d2c073578120b58e724581
