定期船エンジン故障で観光直撃 酒田市飛島の宿泊客2割まで落ち込む　市が補助金と代船費を計上

Due to a malfunction in the regular ferry service connecting Sakata Port to Tobishima, an outlying island of Sakata City, the number of guests at accommodations on the island has drastically decreased. In response, Sakata City has decided to provide emergency support to accommodations on the island. Read the article for this video https://news.ntv.co.jp/n/ybc/category... Since the engine of the regular ferry "Tobishima" malfunctioned in March of this year, and a replacement vessel has been operating, the number of guests at nine accommodations on the island has plummeted. According to a survey conducted by Sakata City, the number of guests in April of this year decreased to about 20-50% of the number during the same period last year. Every year from April to Golden Week, Tobishima Island is bustling with birdwatchers observing migratory birds in the spring. However, due to the use of small fishing boats and vessels with less than half the normal capacity, it is believed that many visitors refrained from making accommodation reservations. Sakata City Mayor Akiko Yaguchi stated, "We are deeply sorry that the regular ferry Tobishima's malfunction has been prolonged. We are arranging for a larger vessel to be available by the summer holidays, so we would appreciate your patience." The repairs to the vessel and its intermediate inspection are expected to be completed around September of this year. In light of this situation, Sakata City has decided to provide emergency support to accommodation facilities on Tobishima Island to ensure their continued operation. They will subsidize 6,600 yen per person for the difference between the average number of users over the past two years and the actual number of users between April and September. A total of 18.05 million yen has been included in the supplementary budget proposal for the June city council meeting. Furthermore, although the details of the engine repair costs are not yet known, 152.93 million yen has been included in the supplementary budget proposal, including the increased cost of the replacement vessel. #News #Yamagata #YBC Please subscribe and like! ◇Yamagata Broadcasting's App YBC App: https://www.ybc-app.jp/view/location.... ◇Yamagata Broadcasting's Social Media X (formerly Twitter): Official   / ybc   News:   / ybc_hodo   Piyo Tamago Wide:   / ybc_piyo   Radio:   / ybc_radio   Facebook:   / ybc.co.jp   Instagram: TV   / ybc_yamagatahoso   Radio   / ybc_radio   Piyo Tamago Wide   / ybc_piyo_   ◇[Latest News Distribution] Yamagata Broadcasting HP https://www.ybc.co.jp
