Probably the most important single data upon which tourism policy consideration should base is the number of tourists. Its estimation, however, has not been necessarily accurate nor reliable enough. We implemented two types of questionnaire in order to estimate the number of tourists to Yakushima Island, which is inscribed on the World Heritage List. One questionnaire was distributed to inhabitants of this Island. The other was carried out at the ports of entry. Utilizing these survey data, the percentage of visitors who were tourists was estimated to be between 51% and 60%, i.e., there were approximately 130,000-150,000 tourists to Yakushima in 1996. We included the tourists with plural purposes such as both leisure and business in the process of estimation. We found about 10% of tourists had plural purposes to visit.
