Chichijima's status as a tourist destination is another essential topic when discussing the island's future. During the conferences, global trends in sustainable tourism and the Japan Sustainable Tourism Standard for Destinations (JSTS-D) were introduced.

During individual discussions, participants expressed their opinions about on-island consumption, such as, "If the island's residents are happy to consume the things produced on the island, off-island people will also become interested, which will ultimately lead to better branding of Chichijima," "There is room to consider including Hahajima, where agriculture is thriving, in the initiative," and "It is important to begin by coming up with one successful case example, even if it is something small-scale at first."

Participants also discussed the Ogasawara hula, a local performing art; the Nanyo Odori; the ukulele; and other dance and music traditions unique to the island. Regarding the current situation in which "there are few opportunities for tourists to experience culture on the islands," participants expressed the following opinions: "The culture of Ogasawara was once lost when residents were forced to evacuate during the war. Now is the time for us to create our culture and link it to industries in the future." "If there were a mechanism to generate income, individuals and teams would appear to perform at events, and the culture would be passed down to future generations."

Going forward, each member plans to continue gathering information and working toward the realization of Chichijima-style industries in line with the initiative's three major objectives.
