Locafuru app introduces coupon feature to boost regional tourism

Roketoku Co., Ltd. has introduced a new coupon feature to its local payment-based hometown tax donation app, Locafuru. This update aims to transform the application from a simple payment tool into a regional tourism platform that encourages users to explore, experience, and support local businesses.

The first implementation of this feature is available at Prisia Resort Yoron on Yoron Island in Kagoshima Prefecture. The resort offers various services including dining, marine activities, and accommodations. By providing coupons, the app seeks to drive foot traffic to local establishments and encourage tourists to spend more time and money within the local economy.

Locafuru intends to expand these coupon offerings to various sectors, including dining, lodging, and retail, to create a cycle where travel experiences lead to increased regional donations and economic circulation.
