The government plans to use cruise liners stopping in Japan as hotels for visitors to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, informed sources said Thursday.
The government on Thursday held the first meeting of division head-class officials from related agencies to examine problems that must be resolved to introduce so-called hotel ships, the sources also said.
The team will set guidelines on hotel ships for cruise ship operators and tourist agencies as early as this summer, hoping that the hotel ship system will also be used for large-scale events in the future.
