Mobile Suit Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino is acting as the chairman of the Anime Tourism Association, an organization of private business interests (such as Kadokawa Corporation and Japan Airlines) that seek to spur tourism by encouraging fans of anime and manga from all over the world to visit locations all over Japan.
The feedback gathered from these online surveys will be taken into account when the Anime Tourism Association begins promoting vacation packages for the 88 selected sites.
International fans are encouraged to vote for which sites will be included by visiting an official website sponsored by Newtype magazine (the English version is available here).
